Become a GWISH member!

Graduate Women in Science Hawai'i started as a chapter of the Graduate Women in Science (GWIS) national organization. In 2018, our members voted to separate from the national org in order to save costs and focus more on local issues of uplifting women scientists, promoting native Hawaiian science and diversity in STEM, and performing educational outreach across the Hawaiian Islands and in the Pacific. 

We are now a separate entity from the GWIS national organization with our own membership base. For more information about GWIS national, please visit their website. We will not honor GWIS national memberships as Graduate Women in Science Hawai'i memberships.
