Cutie Pies Thanksgiving Bake-Off with WiRE

Happy Thanksgiving, all!

On the Monday before Thanksgiving, the AWM joined Women+ in Robotics Engineering (WiRE), Women and Gender Minorities in Physics (WAGMiP), and other women affinity groups for a Thanksgiving social gathering with pie, hot cocoa, and cider. Participants were invited to bring a pie to share, either store-bought or homemade; if homemade, the pie was entered into a bakeoff competition, with a gift card prize offered for the best. (AWM contributed a pumpkin pie.)

Over the course of the gathering, about three dozen students from a range of women in STEM groups floated in, holiday episodes of Winnie the Pooh playing in the background. The event was a fun, relaxed opportunity to meet and chat with other women in STEM and celebrate the upcoming holiday season.

Thanks to WiRE for organizing this and for extending an invitation to AWM!
