The annual University of Wisconsin-Platteville Alliant Energy Women in STEM Banquet is an evening of networking and celebration. The event brings industry sponsors, faculty, staff, alumni, and students together to recognize and honor the achievements of women in science, technology, engineering, and mathematics.
The Women in STEM Banquet provides the perfect opportunity for networking and making connections, includes gifts for all graduating students, and speeches from graduating seniors and Alliant Energy.
