Why?

To foster mindset and awareness of diversity and inclusion in the Women in Engineering Program (WIEP) and Purdue University.

How?

Provide group participants with activities to expand mindset.

As a student at Purdue, we are fortunate enough to be exposed to many different cultures, foods, and types of people.  Luckily, there are many organizations around campus that allow us to immerse ourselves in other cultures or perhaps even learn more about our own.
