Women in Science and Engineering (WISE)

The WISE Village is a living and learning community for first- and second-year students in STEM majors located in Lee Hall. One of the largest villages on campus, WISE is housed on floors 6-9 and part of floor 5. Participating in the Village provides students a unique opportunity to live and build community with other STEM majors taking similar classes and with similar interests. WISE is an engaging and supportive community that focuses on helping residents develop an identity as a scientist, engineer, or mathematician. All first-year villagers have an upper-class residential mentor who is an excellent resource for them in their transition from high school to college. We also provide a variety of academic and social events and opportunities each month for participants in WISE and other interested students, regardless of sex or gender, including tutoring in Calculus, Chemistry, and Physics, faculty and industry connections, and social programming.

All non-residential WISE programming, advising, and tutoring is open to all NC State students, regardless of gender.

WISE is a collaboration between the Colleges of Agriculture and Life Sciences, Engineering, Natural Resources, Sciences, Textiles, and University Housing.
