Women in Science and Engineering Honors Program

WISE Honors at Stony Brook University is committed to shaping the next generation of STEM leaders. Recognized nationally for excellence, WISE provides a transformative experience for students from underrepresented groups through a dynamic honors curriculum, hands-on research, experiential learning and specialized events that promote leadership, academic success and professional growth. With a strong network of mentorship and support, WISE champions diversity, inclusion and innovation in STEM. Our mission is to inspire students to excel, ensuring they thrive as the future trailblazers shaping the world.

Through our programmatic focus on leadership training, professional development opportunities and mentoring support, we equip our students with the skills and confidence needed to thrive in competitive STEM fields. WISE graduates go on to make significant contributions in research, industry and academia, serving as role models who champion diversity and inclusion within STEM.

This Giving Day, your generosity can help us achieve even more. Funds raised will directly support programs that:

• Build Community: Foster meaningful connections through mentorship programs, networking events and peer support systems.
• Enhance Student Success: Provide academic resources and experiential learning opportunities to help students excel academically and professionally.
• Advance Professional Development: Organize workshops, career panels and leadership training to prepare students for their future endeavors.

Your donation ensures we can continue providing unique opportunities, such as our Wonder Women in STEM event, where students build meaningful connections with leading researchers and industry professionals. It also supports programs like our Research 101 and 102 workshops, which bring together SBU faculty and graduate students to guide students on finding and engaging in impactful, hands-on research. These initiatives bridge academic learning with real-world applications, empowering students to thrive in STEM fields.

By contributing, you’re not just supporting a program; you’re investing in the potential of bright, driven individuals who are poised to make a difference. Together, we can create opportunities for these students to break barriers, achieve their dreams and lead the way in STEM innovation.

Join us in making an impact. Every donation, no matter the size, helps us build a stronger, more inclusive community. Let’s inspire the leaders of tomorrow, today.
