Society for Gender Equity in the Geosciences

Society for Gender Equity in the Geosciences (SGEG), co-founded by CDLS fellow Alexandrea Arnold, aims to promote and uplift womxn in the geophysical sciences by focusing on four main areas: outreach, community building, institutional reform, and career development.

Outreach

SGEG aims to provide mentorship and role models through programs of outreach at different educational levels.

Community Building

SGEG aims to form a community within all geoscience departments at UCLA to increase sense of belonging within our field, provide peer mentorship, create dialogue regarding the issues womxn face in geosciences, and help to provide a platform for interdisciplinary collaboration.

Institutional Reform

SGEG will host departmental diversity trainings, increasing the number of womxn speakers at seminars, and providing a liaison that will communicate with departments to address their concerns.

Career Development

Our goals for career development spans from grad-school application review, to CV building and interview skills.
