Program accomplishments

  • Regional Group formation and events: BWEEMS hosted 14 regional group events that resulted in connecting over 100 members across the United States, the Caribbean, and Brazil. Members were able to get to network, learn professional development skills, and support each other in their scientific and career pursuits. This successful model resulted in igniting more events to happen virtually and in the future more in person events. This has sparked the creations of local communities which were not there before
    Expenses $84,679
  • Mentorship and coaching program: 22 pairs of mentors/mentees worked together over the year to support each other in science, education and professional development. Each pair met monthly and gave their monthly updates on challenges and successes to BWEEMS. Mentors were also able to meet with other mentors to get support and advice to better support their mentee. This program is tasked with supporting BWEEMS participants by pairing mentors and mentees together and supporting their professional development skills and career advancement.
    Expenses $79,750
  • Community meetings and virtual programming: 12 community meetings and virtual programming was offered throughout the year to enrich the professional development and networking opportunities for BWEEMS members. This included a two part workshop on getting into graduate school and finding academic advisors that will be supportive not only in graduate school, but beyond. BWEEMS community meetings are a space for networking and sharing stories to create community. Through the development of this space we have found that there is better communication between our members and that. members feel more supported as scientists and therefore more likely to stay in science because they have community.
    Expenses $45,850
  • BWEEMS hosted 96 writing accountability meetings to help support BWEEMS members to get their work done while having a supportive environment in which to do this. We also started a coaching program with three coaches who worked with participants on different topics including graduate school applications, CV development, and career guidance
    Expenses $42,444
