B WISTE Launch!!

For those of you who do not know, B WISTE is a group designed for Women in Technology in the university. B WISTE stands for Birmingham Women In Science, Technology and Engineering. This group was set up by a university staff steering group which included myself and Hollie.

Today B WISTE offically launched. It started at 3:00pm with refreshments and socialising and then at 3:30pm the women were talked to by the group's patron, Dr Helen Stone. After Helen had finished it was my turn to tell them how although this project started out as a staff venture it was designed to be fully student run.

The name B WISTE was something in the early stages we were not sure about so we have given it's members the chance to pick their own name. The person who enters the best name will win £30 worth of book vouchers from waterstones.

We also gave out a free gift of little lip balms with the current name on them. Overall there was a great turnout and it proves to be something to look forward to. :)
