Summit 2023 Recap
Welcome to the overview of the third annual Women's Research Engagement Network Summit! This event is the first interdisciplinary research conference in the nation specifically focused on highlighting the achievements of undergraduate women. Our attendees join us for a day of events focused on female empowerment, women in academia, and celebrating the achievements of women at Northeastern.
Event Recap
Keynote Speaker: Dr. Laney Strange
Dr. Laney Strange (she/her) is a Teaching Professor and Director of Broadening Participation at Northeastern University. Inside and outside the classroom, she works on making computer science inclusive and welcoming for students who have been historically marginalized in our field. Laney strongly believes that computer science is for everyone, and a typical Saturday morning will find her teaching Women’s Community of Code programming workshops that empower girls and women to try out coding in a fun, supportive environment.
Student Organization Workshops
Northeastern United against Inequities in Disease (NUAID) led a workshop on Public Health in Research discussing reducing health inequities in the community.
