Introducing WiSTEM Club at RIT Kosovo

To kick off Women’s History Month, we are excited to introduce WiSTEM - Women in STEM student club at RIT Kosovo!  Founded by passionate CIT students and human rights activists: Viola Maksuti, Nisa Çavdarbasha, Delfina Kukaj, Alma Beluli, Olsa Rama, Yllka Totaj, and Anduena Shasivari, WiSTEM’s goal is to champion gender equality, foster an inclusive community for women and girls in STEM and support the advancement of science in education. 

WiSTEM is committed to create a space where women and girls can flourish and succeed in STEM fields, by providing STEM students the support, resources, and opportunities they need to thrive in their educational and professional journeys. Starting from this month, the club will organize panel discussions, fundraising events, career-oriented workshops, networking sessions and other activities to support this goal. WiSTEM also plans to collaborate with similar clubs in other regional and international universities. 

It is important to mention that this club is a product of the STEFORA ERASMUS+ project led by RIT Kosovo, which aims to establish inclusive STEM practices and environments for women and girls, in Kosovo and Albania. WiSTEM is mentored by professor Linda Ziberi, instructor of the Technical Communication course and STEFORA project member.
