Campus Organizations
The Jessica M. Morris Women in Engineering (WiE) Program LEAD is a collective of the college’s women-centric student organizations that provides female students opportunities for leadership development, mentoring, and collaboration. The collective is also a platform for student leaders to provide feedback and contribute to recruitment, retention, and engagement strategies for undergraduate and graduate women within the college.
Our groups are open to all students who support the mission of their organizations. We encourage you to connect with them during your time at UT to learn more about membership, mentoring opportunities, personal and professional development, and connecting to resources to be successful at UT and beyond.
