Welcome to WIO!
Mission
Women In Optics is a University of Arizona student club run by graduate and undergraduate students of the James C. Wyant College of Optical Sciences. We lead events and initiatives to serve the optical sciences community specifically providing a forum for students from underserved, underrepresented, and underinvested backgrounds.
