I Wish Circle

What is the I Wish Alumnae Circle?

The key for I Wish is to create a sense of community among girls in STEM and especially to leverage the momentum from the girls who were previous attendees at I Wish who are willing to play their part and "pay it back" as they attend university and start work. I Wish would like to maintain a connection with these girls. We have now developed an Alumnae Circle to develop the long-term goals of I Wish with the help from the girls that attended I Wish events and are now on their own STEM journey through college and on into industry.

The I Wish Alumnae Circle offers many ways to stay in touch.

Attend our alumnae and student events to connect with old friends and new.
Become a mentor and share your knowledge and experience.
Get involved with our I Wish Showcase Events.
Keep in touch via Instagram, Twitter or LinkedIn and let us know how you’re doing today!

The I Wish Alumnae Circle is a network of dreamers and doers

Meeting the WiSTEM society in UCC was like getting that feeling I felt when I walked into city hall 2 years ago. I feel like I belong and people will believe I can do engineering even though I’m a girl, I feel encouraged again like I did in the first place when I went to I Wish even though everyone kept trying to tell me I wouldn’t be good enough because I am a girl but after listening to how successful these women were at I Wish I wanted to prove them all wrong”

For as long as I remember I was interested in STEM, getting the opportunity to go on the I Wish Park Place externship just confirmed for me that I want to pursue a STEM career” Emma Brennan CIT & I Wish Alumna
