Welcome

Prism Week is a week-long diversity and inclusion event for the Optical Science & Engineering Community at the University of Arizona. It will be held during the week of February 8th in order to coincide with International Day of Women and Girls in Science. It focuses on different identities and issues each day, such as physical and mental health, uncommon socio-economic backgrounds, racial minorities, women and other gender minorities, and LGBTQ+. These celebrations will be carried out over Zoom in the form of panels, presentations, and group discussions. Special “care packages” will be distrubuted to participants with informational materials on diversity and inclusion, as well as lists of helpful resources available on the university campus. Additionally, these care packages will include a few swag items, including hand sanitizers, Prism Week stickers, snacks, and more.
