Resources and Affiliation
Our events and programs are funded by the CU Denver Office of Inclusion and Outreach. We also work with them to partner with other diversity groups they sponsor, including SACNAS and the LGBTQ+ Hub.
We have previously been an affiliate group of the Association of Women in Science (AWIS), which provides access to a broad network of scientists and other resources. Though not required, we encourage our members to consider becoming members of AWIS.
