Graduate Women’s Group

About

The Graduate Women's Group is the only program at UM devoted solely to addressing the concerns of graduate women. The GWG was established in 2006 in response to an overwhelming demand for campus resources that would address graduate women's personal, social, and academic needs.

We are supported in part by the Graduate Student Council and the Sarah Isom Center for Women. The group is self-led and sponsors a range of activities and programs. GWG brings together graduate women from a broad range of disciplines to facilitate discussion on their research or efforts in the community, and functions as an advocate for graduate women's concerns.

Activities for this semester:

The GWG is meant to be a support group for graduate women and this New Blog was created as a forum for discussion. Check it out at http://olemissgwg.blogspot.com
Graduate Women’s Closet: We will provide business attire for graduate women attending interviews or conferences. Graduate Women wishing to check out clothing will need their student ids and a $5 deposit.
You can purchase a Graduate Women’s Cookbook, compiled from recipes from graduate women and faculty across the campus. The Cookbook will cost $9 and will benefit the group’s philanthropic endeavors. Please stop by the Sarah Isom Center or email the Graduate Women's Group for more information!
