Promotional poster: "PERSIST(Σ): Beyond Tokenism: Women Thriving in Engineering" in white text, surrounded by multiple outline silhouettes of people, with one shaded in in magenta. At the top is the PERSIST(Σ) logo, a stylized gear with a flower in the center. At the bottom is text describing the event (same info on this page).

Join us for a dynamic panel discussion with inspiring women leaders in engineering to explore the concept of "tokenism," learn how to recognize its manifestations, and discover strategies to challenge it effectively.

All women and nonbinary undergraduate, graduate, and professional students of color are invited. Lunch will be provided!

About the program:

PERSIST(Σ) aims to create identity-affirming spaces to promote the participation and persistence of women and nonbinary people of color in engineering at UIC. Join the Equity in Engineering Program (EIEP), Women in Engineering Programs (WIEP), and the Women's Leadership and Resource Center (WLRC) to learn more and be part of this exciting initiative for meaningful change!
