Explore the University of Canterbury
Building at Universidad Carlos III de Madrid
Founded in beautiful New Zealand in 1873, the University of Canterbury is now a modern autonomous university with an international reputation for excellence in teaching and research. The university is located on a modern, suburban campus that offers extensive sporting and recreational activities to complement its scholastic reputation. With an enrollment of 10,000 students, the university is host to more than 100 clubs and societies on campus, covering interests in the sporting, cultural, social, religious, and intellectual fields. Only 10 minutes away is Christchurch, a city of 300,000 people that is often called the Garden City of New Zealand because of its many parks, natural reserves, trees, and flowers. The city also has a reputation for being the most English city outside England, largely because of its traditional architecture and expansive parks. The Cathedral in the central square is its focal point.

The Women in Science Program serves and develops a cohort of 200 students who identify as women, non-binary individuals, and male advocates within the College of Science throughout their undergraduate studies. From the first-year application process to graduation day, WISP exists to strengthen Science student experiences — not only in the lecture hall or lab but through mentoring and networking as well. We are excited to learn and grow together!

Our first year WISP mentees attending BGR/arriving on campus early will gather for a fun event to learn how they will be supported this year and get to know one another prior to classes.  Our upper-class mentors will gather during the first week of class to review expectations regarding positive ways they can connect with and assist their mentee.
