WREN is the Women's Research Engagement Network, a group at Northeastern University dedicated to promoting and celebrating women in research across the disciplines. No matter if you're a research veteran or a student looking to get involved for the first time, we are here to support you.
We believe that every woman at Northeastern who is interested in research should have a chance to work with a faculty member, regardless of your area of study or your year.
Through WREN, female-aligned students at Northeastern can connect directly with Northeastern Faculty that are actively looking to work with undergraduate students. Apply to positions across the disciplines directly from the WREN website with just a few clicks.
Apply to the WREN Scholar program to join an incredible interdisciplinary community of women in research at Northeastern. Gain access to exclusive events focused on building skills and connections both on and off campus. WREN Scholars are also eligible to present their research at the annual WREN Summit.
Join the WREN Jumpstart Program to gain access to a workshop series and mentorship network dedicated to helping students find research opportunities on campus. If you have never done research before and/or aren't sure how to get started on campus, this program is for you! Spots are filled on a first-come first-serve basis.
The IWC is a student organization at Northeastern University focused on uplifting female voices, training female leaders, and advocating for women on campus. WREN is one of the three branches of the IWC.
If you are a female faculty member at Northeastern interested in finding a qualified student to help you advance your research or creative project, we can help.
Although WREN's Faculty partners are integral to the program's success, it is a group of dedicated Northeastern students that lead WREN. Our student leaders create engaging programming, connect with female faculty members, and run the Scholar and Fellow programs.
