Future Career Plans: “I plan to work for a large medical device corporation, somewhere out West as a research scientist and project manager. ”

Biggest Impact of PEER & WISE: “PEER&WISE has been an incredible experience for me over the past two years. It provided me the opportunity to enhance my tutoring and mentoring skills that are needed as a professional engineer and manager. I received a lot of help and guidance during my time as an undergraduate and I am grateful to pass it down so that we can continue to spread knowledge, leadership, and kindness in the Clemson and greater community. ”

Words of Wisdom: “Success isn’t measured by your outcomes but by how well you responded to your individual path it took to lead you to greatness. “

Kelsey Campbell is an Undergraduate Intern for PEER & WISE, starting in January 2020.

She is soon to be a proud alumni of Clemson University, as she will graduate in May 2021 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Business Management accompanied by a minor in communications. She has previously worked as a Physical Therapist’s Assistant after receiving her degree from Greenville Technical College in 2018. She plans to return to Clemson University in the Spring of 2022 to pursue her MBA.

The Perry Initiative: Building the Pipeline for Women in Engineering and Medicine

In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Perry Initiative has paused all in-person programs for the foreseeable future. While we are disappointed we cannot meet new participants at Perry Outreach Programs, we are still committed to our mission of inspiring women to pursue careers in orthopaedic surgery and engineering. As we navigate through these extraordinary times, we will be transitioning to virtual learning.

We’re very excited to announce upcoming sessions of the Perry Virtual Experience in May 2021. The Perry Virtual Experience is a free, 2.5-hour, interactive online experience for high school and college-aged women who are interested in pursuing careers in orthopaedic surgery and engineering. Participants will hear from women leaders in these fields and dive into online orthopaedic simulations and biomechanics experiments. Additional information can be found on our website.

Women in high school and college who have an interest in science, medicine and/or engineering are now invited to register for a session of the Perry Virtual Experience. We would appreciate it if you could pass along this information to any educators or students you may know. Students should be directed to fill out the online registration for one session that best fits their schedule. Most sessions are available to participants in any location, but some sessions are for a focused geographic area. Dates and details for each session can be found here.

Available for MS and PhD students in STEM!
