Here you can learn about our mission, vision and values, which we hope will evolve along as new members bring in new perspectives.

We will also discuss:

1. Our first action activity, Environmental Justice and Social Justice -related policy tracking and advocacy followed by
2. A discussion of future action activity ideas.
3. We also believe it is important to talk about current affairs, as such, we will leave space to talk about how the election outcome could affect climate action and grassroots movements

Because this is our first meeting and a relatively new club that started last year, all ideas are welcome and encouraged! These are challenging times and so we hope to build community through EJ, collectively working towards building a more equitable society. SOCIAL JUSTICE THROUGH CLIMATE ACTION!

 

SEBA is excited to announce that this year’s first SEBA networking lunch will be with Dr. Christine Vissinga, a PhD immunologist who has held a variety of industry and academic positions. The lunch will take place this week on Thursday, October 22nd, from 12:30 pm to 1:30 pm via Zoom.

Please let us know by 10:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 22nd if you would like to attend by emailing networking@uwseba.org with your full name, updated resume, and two to three sentences detailing why this networking lunch would be interesting and valuable to you

Dr. Vissinga is inspired by the immune system and how it can be manipulated and provide tools to combat grievous illnesses and improve the lives of patients. Her focus is the discovery and development of novel immune therapeutics. As a Ph.D. immunologist she has worked in both academic and biotech settings in positions with increasing responsibility and complexity.

SEBA Networking Lunches: SEBA holds lunch and/or happy hour sessions twice a month at locations near the UW campus. These events are open to science and engineering undergraduates, graduate students, and postdoctoral fellows. Participants gain exposure to new industries, get information on specific career paths, make valuable connections, and practice networking in a casual setting. Events are limited to a small group (around 5-7 participants).
