Center of Excellence for Women in STEM (CEWS)

Gain the support, knowledge and strategic skills you need to achieve your full potential as a student, professional and leader in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM).

CEWS is a unique resource for women pursuing a career in STEM fields.

This progressive Center of Excellence was created in response to the overwhelming need for education, advanced training and continued support for women who are beginning or advancing careers in science, technology, engineering and mathematics.

While great strides have been made, women today still face significant challenges as they pursue STEM careers.

  • Just 26% of STEM workers are female. Of those, only 26% are minorities
  • Only three out of 12 women who graduate with a bachelor’s degree in a STEM field still work in STEM 10 years after graduation2
  • Women hold nearly half of all the jobs in the U.S., yet only hold 25% of all jobs in STEM
  • For every dollar a man with a career in STEM makes, a woman makes only .86 cents
