Mission Statement:

The core purpose of our organization is to offer assistance, empowerment, and networking avenues for gender minorities within the aerospace sector, with an initial focus on university students. We passionately welcome those who identify as gender minorities and allies, while fostering a trans-inclusive environment that is open to individuals who identify as gender non-conforming. 

Our central objectives are as follows:

1. Enhance the involvement of underrepresented minorities in aerospace by advancing their technical and professional development.
2. Cultivate a secure and inviting space for minorities through mentorship and community engagement.
3. Establish a nurturing aerospace community that promotes mutual support.

General Information:

We meet bi-weekly throughout the fall and spring semesters and organize a variety of events encompassing both professional and technical growth, as well as social interactions. WoAA is committed to establishing connections between students and aerospace both within and beyond ¶¶ÒõÂÃÐÐÉä. Our utmost priority lies in fostering students' self-assurance alongside their peers and have a nurturing environment where success thrives.

Letter from the President:

Welcome!

My name is Ada Forsner, and I am so excited to be the president of Women of Aeronautics and Astronautics for the 2024 to 2025 academic year. Currently, I am a senior pursuing a degree in aerospace engineering, with minors in Space and Engineering Management. My first experience with WoAA started during the fall of 2022, where I was a general member. The following year, during the fall of 2023, I became the Executive Internal Coordinator.

I hope to transform WoAA into a growing organization open to all! If you have a passion for aerospace or simply want to learn about anything related, this is the student society for you. The core mission of WoAA is to provide support, empowerment, and networking avenues for gender minorities in the aerospace field, with an initial concentration on university students. Our array of activities encompasses social gatherings, technical sessions, professional networking, and academic pursuits. Examples of events/opportunities WoAA has offered include panel discussions and speakers, organizing outreach for K-12, participating in industry tours, and traveling to national and local conferences. Your involvement can be a pivotal addition to our dynamic community!

Feel free to reach out and ask our organization anything. Our events are bi-weekly, starting Monday, September 16th and are located in the BOLD Chevron Commons Room, unless stated otherwise. Our events usually run from 6-7pm, but sometimes we have special circumstances.
