She Innovates, She Leads: Inspiring Change for a Sustainable World is an in-person career exploration workshop for rising 9th-12th grade girls in Michigan.

We especially encourage students historically underrepresented in STEM to participate, including students who are Black, Latinx, or eligible for free or reduced lunch.
The program will feature four rotating panels of professional women in leadership and STEM fields, with a GVSU collegiate panel at the end of the event. Our mission is to expose and inspire the participating high school students to the diversity of amazing careers in Michigan, led by their passions, and to learn about pathways that contribute towards sustainability! All student participants will take home a one-of-a-kind event patch. Some of the panel topics will include climate action, equality, general health & wellness, innovation, industry & infrastructure and more!
Hosted by Women of Aerospace Industry Association of Michigan (WAIAM), Women in Manufacturing Western Michigan Chapter (WiM), Girl Scouts Michigan Shore to Shore (GSMISTS), and MiSTEM Network’s Greater West Michigan Region.
