Since its initial grants in 1989, the CBL Program has become one of the single most significant sources of private support for women in science, mathematics, and engineering in the United States. WPI first received funding from the program in 2016 when it was awarded $204,000 to promote research by undergraduate women in math, computer science, physics, and robotics engineering, funding eight research scholars per year over a three-year period. The success of the undergraduate program and recent funding for graduate scholars reflects WPIs commitment to being a campus that values all voices and that embraces diversity, providing a welcoming community for women in the sciences and engineering. WPI offers a variety of initiatives aimed at recruitment, retention, and career development for female graduate students including the Womens Impact Network as well as various Innovative and Inclusion Community initiatives which are a priority of the Beyond These Towers Campaign.
