"The best women's groups aren't about separation and segregation: they're about providing an incubator for people who need a leg up to be part of the wider community."
This is what I really want CU-WISE to be. We may need a bit more doing, but I think that events like the Celebration are exactly what we need. We're just showing off what we're doing. ;) (I also want members to post more accomplishments on our blog for the same reason. Speaking of which, maybe you should post there about passing your defence and doing stuff for GSoC, etc etc.... wink wink)
I also love CU-WISE just for the friends one can make. To me that's the most valuable thing that I didn't know I was ever missing (since I never had any issues being one of the few girls in undergrad).
