Women in Public Policy

Women in Public Policy (WIPP) was founded in 1994. The group's purpose is to facilitate the professional integration of women into public policy roles. To this end, WIPP organizes discussions and debates on gender and policy issues regarding women in the public arena, and generates public awareness about economic, social, political and historical issues in relation to gender and power in policy. The organization promotes principles of equality, justice and integrity in the public and private arena and provides a support system and networking opportunities for its members. WIPP sends delegates to conferences, invites women leaders to speak at Cornell, co-hosts various events on campus that deal with women and equality, holds panel discussions on current issues on gender and makes information available to its members of gender policy related events at Cornell and beyond.
