RAS Women In Engineering (WIE) Luncheon

From 22 Aug, 2017 12:30 until 22 Aug, 2017 13:30

The WiE luncheon provides the opportunity to foster discussion on the role of women in robotics and automation, inspire girls and promote collaborations and initiatives to advance women in leadership. As the goal for this event is to be more than a lunch for women, but a lunch with women. Therefore, men are more than welcome to participate and enjoy the discussion.
