Conference Canceled
Dear NSAWS attendees,
Due to the impending storm expected to reach Boston tomorrow afternoon, we have decided to cancel the symposium. We apologize greatly for this inconvenience but in light of the inclement weather, we did not want to jeopardize anyone's safety and after hearing that many speakers would be unable to attend due to travel problems caused by the storm, we thought it would be best to cancel the conference. We appreciate your interest in attending as we had amazing speakers that were very excited to share their knowledge, expertise, experience, and personal insights with you to foster the community of women pursuing careers in science. We hope to either reschedule the conference for later this year or early next year. We will notify you with any news related to this. Again we apologize for having to cancel the symposium but we hope you continue your interest in NSAWS for future events and continue connecting with other women in science.
Best regards,
Jen, Olivia, and Barr
NSAWS Co-Directors

Mission Statement
The National Symposium for the Advancement for Women in Science (NSAWS) is a biennial event held to discuss and honor the role of women in science. It is sponsored by the the organization, Women in Science at Harvard-Radcliffe (WISHR). Since its founding in 1989, the organization has grown into a large, multi-faceted organization devoted to fostering a sense of solidarity and community for women engaged in science at Harvard College. WISHR provides a support network and resource base in addition to fostering discussion on women's issues and providing inspiration and encouragement for those pursuing science-related fields.
The National Symposium for the Advancement of Women in Science (NSAWS) has been a significant addition to WISHR's program. NSAWS serves to raise awareness of current issues facing female scientists and to encourage women to take leadership roles in scientific fields. In the spring of 2000, the first NSAWS addressed the developing role of women in science to an audience of several hundred undergraduate and graduate students, faculty members, and professionals. Since then, NSAWS has continued to draw leaders in science form all across the nation to discuss strategies to increase women's participation in science.
This year, NSAWS is proudly co-sponsored by The Scientista Foundation, the first national organization dedicated to empowering college and graduate women in science and engineering.
