Engaging your Community We recognize that you are more than just an engineering student and that your classroom experiences, affiliations, and participation in organizations can intersect and overlap in dynamic ways. As you expand your network, learning spaces and perspective, your opportunities to engage in whatever ways you choose will also expand. Viterbi’s Women in Engineering program offers professional, academic, and social services to students who identify as women and non-binary. WIE recognizes the unique challenges that women and non-binary engineering students face and seeks to provide resources and overall support that addresses these challenges. Both undergraduate and graduate students serve and lead the WIE Board by facilitating events with industry professionals who showcase their expertise and work, outreaching to middle and high school students, hosting social/well-being events, and providing a mentorship program.

“ My past two years as a woman in engineering at Viterbi have been full of challenges and growth. I am surrounded by smart and supportive
individuals – from fellow students to mentors and professors – which makes this journey feel natural and empowering. USC is so diverse and full of life, with many opportunities to learn, network and make lifelong friends – from record-breaking rocket launches to region-wide hackathons. There’s always something going on that anyone can take part in. Fight On! ”
