Women Chemists Committee

The Greater Pittsburgh Area WCC’s mission is to be leaders in attracting, developing and promoting women in the chemical sciences.

The goals designed to fulfill the mission statement include:

Attracting women to a profession in the chemical sciences.

Providing leadership for career development opportunities for women in the chemical sciences.

Promoting and recognizing the professional accomplishments of women in the chemical sciences.

Overall, we drive to stimulate or foster the interest of a diverse population, promoting their professional developments within various STEM fields.

The WCC was formed in June 2011, and members include chemists from industry, government, and academia. The group is open to students and professionals who are interested in networking & mentoring, professional development, community outreach, and/or leadership opportunities.

Membership in the Greater Pittsburgh Area WCC is open to all genders from all institutions.
