Hi Mary,
Could you please let me know what are the pre-requisites for associating with the women in science membership? And also what is the age limit for this membership.
Hi Fionna –
the TU WIS Club has decided to no longer use this website and they conduct most of their business via Facebook, Twitter, or other means. If you are a TU student, then see here and follow the instructions for access to the national AWIS. https://www.towson.edu/fcsm/departments/stem/womeninscience/awis.html
Best wishes,
Dr. Tsuji
