Event summary

Get ready to lace up your sneakers and make a difference at the 5th Annual Women in STEM Walkathon, taking place throughout the month of October 2025 in Atlanta, Dekalb! This exciting virtual event, running from October 1 to October 31, is dedicated to empowering women in the fields of Science, Technology, Engineering, and Math (STEM). Did you know that while women represent 52% of the workforce, they only account for 29% of STEM professionals? This walkathon aims to bridge that gap by providing scholarships and career resources to HBCU women pursuing STEM careers.

Participants can tackle the virtual walk/run from anywhere, whether you prefer walking solo, teaming up with friends, or competing for miles as part of a group. Each mile you accumulate helps unlock matching funds from our generous sponsors, and you'll receive a delightful thank you token from HBCU STEMER. Plus, enjoy fun perks like a long sleeve t-shirt, weekly raffle drawings, and the chance to win a $150 Grand Prize for the individual with the most miles. Join us for two in-person meet-ups in Atlanta on October 6 at Piedmont Park and October 18 at Big Peach South Fulton. Together, let’s elevate and

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.
