The Program for Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) was founded in 1986 by a group of Iowa State University faculty and staff concerned about the underrepresentation and underutilization of women in science and engineering. WiSE reports to the Office of the Senior Vice President and Provost and supports students in the following academic colleges: College of Agriculture and Life Sciences, College of Design, College of Engineering, College of Human Sciences, College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and the Ivy College of Business.
