Star Chapter

The Star Chapter award is given to chapters that demonstrate overall excellence in fulfilling the AWIS mission. The Shooting Star Award recognizes outstanding local chapters for exceptional contributions to supporting women in STEM fields.

AWIS-San Diego has been recognized by AWIS National as a 2024 Star Chapter and received a 2024 Shooting Star Award for Promoting the Pipeline of Women in STEM. AWIS-San Diego has established a thriving community dedicated to supporting all women and girls to, through, and beyond their STEM careers. We have programs designed to educate, support, and elevate women no matter where they are in their journey. Through this collective support, we help each other achieve their professional goals and create lasting impact in their fields and in the community.

AWIS National highlighted the impact of our chapter, stating, “The San Diego Chapter has established exceptional programs that create clear pathways for women in STEM, including their innovative AWIS Leadership Network and the Academia to Industry (A2I) coffee chats, which they generously expanded to AWIS members nationwide. They also provide numerous scholarships and conduct outreach programs in the local community.”

Congratulations to our chapter leaders, volunteers and members for their impactful contributions!
