Event summary

Get ready to lace up your sneakers for the 4th Annual Women in STEM Walkathon, taking place throughout October 2023 in Atlanta, Dekalb! This inspiring month-long virtual event kicks off on Sunday, October 1st, and continues until Tuesday, October 31st. The Walkathon aims to educate, elevate, and empower women in STEM, particularly those from Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs). Despite women representing 52% of the workforce, they only make up 29% of STEM professionals, making this event crucial for promoting diversity and inclusion in these fields.

Participants can walk or run at their own pace, anywhere they choose, while racking up miles throughout the month. Whether you join solo, with friends, or as part of a team, every mile you log contributes to scholarships and career resources for HBCU women pursuing STEM careers. Plus, for every mile you accumulate, our generous sponsors will match funds to further support this vital cause. Don't miss out on this opportunity to make a difference while celebrating the incredible achievements of women in STEM! Join the virtual WiSW challenge and support the next generation of female STEM leaders.

Organiser's description

Historically Black Colleges and Universities (HBCUs) are an oasis of cultural significance, both past and present, and are leading sources for black graduates. However, the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM) are still lacking proper representation of minority groups, including women. Did you know women make up 52% of the workforce, but only 29% of STEM professionals? Join HBCU STEM Education Run in an event dedicated to educate, elevate, and empower HBCU women in STEM through scholarships and career resources.

Women in STEM Walkathon (WiSW) is month-long virtual walk/run that can be done anywhere you like! Participate alone, with a friend, or with a team to rack up as many miles in the month of October as possible. Our sponsors will match funds based on the miles accumulated. Participants also receive a thank you token from HBCU STEMER. Whether you are an HBCU alum/student, STEM graduate, or just passionate about education, this event is for you! Come join the virtual WiSW challenge to support the next generation of women STEM professionals.
