Faces of WYSE at The Grainger College of Engineering
The Worldwide Youth in Science and Engineering (WYSE) culture is defined by our students, our volunteers, and our alumni - the faces - that make up this program. WYSE is about pushing the boundaries of diversity in STEM education. It’s about embracing an innate curiosity and celebrating our collective accomplishments. Inspired by Humans of New York. We invite you to meet our WYSE friends in their own words, through snapshots of their experience. Join us in getting to know the Faces of WYSE at the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign!
