Women in Genome Sciences
The Women in Genome Sciences (WiGS) organization was created in order to establish an environment supportive of women in Genome Sciences. Our primary mission is to address issues particularly relevant to women in the department. These issues include, but are not limited to recruitment of graduate students and faculty, attrition of women from academic science, navigation of an academic career with a family, and development of a department friendly to women.

Summer Research Opportunities for Underrepresented Students
The Department of Genome Sciences, in partnership with the UW STAR and Genomic Outreach for Minorities programs, offers summer research opportunities for undergraduates.
