WITS & Student Societies

WITS is proud to have the support of various student society members across colleges in Ireland.

Women+ in STEM Society (University College Dublin)

This Society was first established in 2019 and is dedicated to supporting and promoting female and non-binary UCD students in Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics (STEM). 5th Session Auditor (President): Adesola Ojomo-Amaka

We go by “women+” to emphasise that we advocate for non-binary students in STEM along with cis and trans women. However membership is open to all UCD students, staff and alumni, and we welcome allies of all genders and courses.

Our goals are threefold. We aim to:

1. Build and provide a support network and cross-faculty community for female+ STEM students in UCD.

2. Provide our members with key skills and opportunities for their early and future careers.

3. Connect with the younger generation (especially girls+ and people from disadvantaged backgrounds) by inspiring them to take up an interest in STEM, promoting gender diversity awareness in STEM, and encouraging them to pursue further/ third-level education
