Each Fall, the Center for the Study of Women, Science, and Technology (WST) and the Women’s Resource Center join in efforts to welcome new women faculty and staff to campus. We also take this opportunity to recognize some of the women student leaders involved in our programs and other women’s organizations. This is a great networking reception, especially for graduate students to meet women faculty and administrators.

This year, both the Women's Resource Center and the Center of the Study of Women, Science and Technology (WST) are celebrating our 10th anniversaries at Georgia Tech!
