During a time when there is a national push for students to enroll in the science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM) fields, an organization new to West Michigan is striving to recruit and retain women into these subjects.
Following an 18-month collaboration, Karen Gipson, professor of physics at Grand Valley State University, and a team of students, deans, faculty and staff from Van Andel Institute and Hope College, have created a West Michigan chapter of the Association for Women in Science (AWIS).
