WISTEM Schedule
2026 WISTEM Schedule
WISTEM is a six-month long program designed to strengthen students’ STEM understanding, prepare students for the college process, and help students learn about the experience of women in STEM fields. Keeping this in mind, WISTEM is a two-part program that includes an all-expenses paid fly-in program to visit Harvey Mudd College and an interactive online component.
WISTEM Residential Component – March 22 – March 24, 2026
WISTEM participants will be brought to Harvey Mudd College’s campus March 22 – March 24, 2026 in an all expenses covered trip. Students are expected to arrive to campus no later than 1 p.m. PST on March 22nd, so students flying from out-of-state should expect an early departure. The in-person portion of the WISTEM program ends at noon PST on Tuesday, March 24th so students must depart campus at this time.
WISTEM Online Component – January 2026 – April 2026
The online component of WISTEM will likely include all of the following:
- Women in STEM webinar series
- College process webinar series
- Engagement with the rest of your WISTEM cohort via Zoom, email, and Discord.
Throughout the program, you will be asked to participate on Discord, schedule a one-on-one meeting to take place over the summer, required to engage with an HMC Admission interview, and other opportunities to connect directly with the Office of Admission.
The current program schedule can be found below, and is subject to change. In order to successfully complete the program, participants are required to attend all sessions.
