Confronting Climate Change

At Tandon, we are committed to building a culture that respects and embraces gender diversity, inclusion, and equity. Join the Office of Student Life & Services for the 11th annual Women in STEM Summit at NYU Tandon School of Engineering, a week full of exciting programs, March 3-March 11.

This year's Summit will explore the theme "Confronting the Climate Crisis." Throughout early March, we will feature programs and outings highlighting women discussing their varying professional journeys and how their work and research relate to the growing movement around environmental justice, sustainability, and how we all can confront the climate crisis. 

We will also have some great giveaways at all Summit events and online, so be sure to follow us all week on social media @tandonstudentlife!

New York University and the Tandon School of Engineering provide reasonable accommodations to people with disabilities. Requests for accommodations for events and services should be submitted at least (1) week before the date of the needed accommodation. Please email tandonstudentlife@nyu.edu for assistance.
