Welcome to the site of Women in Chemical Engineering at the University of Washington!

Women in Chemical Engineering (WChE, "Wick-ee") was founded in January of 2016 with the primary purpose of educating, empowering, and advocating for women in chemical engineering, and their supporters, by providing a safe and open space for dialogue, mentorship, collaboration, camaraderie, and skill building through professional development, community networking, and outreach to primary, secondary, and post-secondary institutions.
We are a group of undergraduate, graduate, faculty and professional women in chemical engineering, as well as male allies. We are a tight-knit community that supports diversity and strives for excellence in our field.

 Member Spotlights

Every month we feature a new member of our ChemE community - undergrad, grad, alumni, staff, and faculty! If you know someone outstanding that deserves recognition, nominate them!
