After a week long effort to view, judge, and scrutinize over the nominees, this year's Own It winners have been announced!
Own It helps to increase the visibility of an often overlooked group in STEM. Recognizing women for their role and participation in STEM fields encourages us all to rise to the occasion.
It quickly became evident that there are numerous women in Laramie and at the University of Wyoming making an impact in various STEM fields. Whether it be in the lab, out in the field, through community service, during a lecture in a classroom, or by mentoring others, each nominee demonstrated immense passion for, and dedication to, STEM.
While the judging committee would have liked to see each nominee receive and Own It Award, they are proud to announce this year's winners!
