The Women's Interdisciplinary Society of Entrepreneurship
The Women’s Interdisciplinary Society of Entrepreneurship (WISE) is an undergraduate student-led group at Northeastern University dedicated to empowering students in developing an innovative mindset through technical workshops, community engagement, a builder lab, venture capital bootcamp, mentorship program, venture accelerator, marketing bootcamp and an annual conference. Our community operates globally, with satellite programs on London and Oakland campuses, and is now expanding to Northeastern in New York City.
WeLearn is WISE's interdisciplinary hard-skill workshop series, open to all majors and genders with no application required. Every other week, guest speakers and professionals lead hands-on workshops that build practical, entrepreneurial skills and open doors to industries and technical fields where women and underrepresented groups have historically been underrepresented.
