About Us
Our Mission
CBE Women (Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering Women’s Group) is an student organization that aims to develop leadership skills and provide opportunities to female graduate students and postdoctoral research associates. We organize events and programs nearly every month of the year.
Our mission is two-fold:
- To focus on issues pertinent to female affiliates of the Robert Frederick Smith School of Chemical and Biomolecular Engineering
- To encourage young girls to enter engineering through outreach
Our Team
CBE Women is made possible by voluntary service from a passionate group of graduate students promoting diversity and inclusion
