WinSPIRE (Women in Science Promoting Inclusion in Research Experiences) is a paid six-week-long immersive summer mentorship program at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill that provides cohorts of woman-identifying and nonbinary high school students with hands-on experience in a research laboratory, engaging college-prep workshops, and an extensive support network of women in science.

This is an interest meeting for prospective mentors for the 2021 program. The program is a great mentorship opportunity available for any woman-identifying and non-binary graduate students, post-docs and faculty throughout the UNC STEM network. There will be a panel of previous mentors there to answer questions.
