Scott Cooper, President and CEO of the Academy of Natural Sciences of Drexel University, invites you to a special evening dedicated to women in science.

Women In Natural Sciences (WINS) is the Academy of Natural Sciences’ free summer and after-school mentoring and science enrichment program for high school women, particularly from underserved families WINS 35 and schools in Philadelphia. Founded 35 years ago in response to the Wednesday, May 9, 2018 growing interest in science education programs for female high school students, WINS encourages these young women to pursue science, The Academy of Natural Sciences technology, engineering, and math (STEM) in college and as a career. of Drexel University WINS is the only program of its kind in Philadelphia.

Join us in celebrating this groundbreaking program that has made a profound difference in the lives of so many young Philadelphia women. During this special evening, Lisa Dyson, PhD, will receive the WINS 35 Committee first-ever WINS award to recognize an “outstanding female innovator in science, technology, engineering, and math whose visionary Jane and John Bales contributions in science have made a positive impact on the world.
