Women In Nuclear
RPI Chapter

The RPI Chapter of Women in Nuclear seeks to offer members opportunities that support the three main aims of National WIN: outreach, networking and professional development. We enhance members technical and industry knowledge by bringing speakers to campus either physically or virtually, provide outreach and leadership opportunities, and connect members with alumni and other professionals through activities and conferences.
