What happens if I've already submitted a nomination for my favorite woman/women in STEM?
Can I still submit a nomination for a woman/women in STEM?
Is the Own It event is still even on?
Good questions!
Earlier this month we announced our Fifth Annual Own It recognition event for women in STEM. Since then, we've been tackling COVID-19 and the many changes it has brought to EPSCoR and the University of Wyoming. Amidst the closures and extended Spring Break, EPSCoR is still honoring our women in STEM. How you ask? Read on to find out.
Our in-person event is cancelled, unfortunately, but we are still Owning It! All nominations are being viewed from home and will continue being accepted until March 30th. While we cannot wine and dine each of the nominees and winners, EPSCoR will still be celebrating all of our women in STEM.
Hosting 6 nomination categories this year, Own It will still virtually celebrate and recognize numerous undergraduate and graduate students, faculty, and community members. It would take a lot more than a cancellation to keep us from recognizing our fantastic women during #InternationalWomen'sMonth.
Still want to nominate a woman/women in STEM? Please do so by going to the Own It website, and filling out the nomination form by March 30th!
Still have questions about the event? Feel free to reach out to Lisa Abeyta via email at labeyta1@uwyo.edu or by phone at 307-766-6059.
