As WISAY (Women and Gender Minorities in Science at Yale), we are dedicated to promoting the interests of female, transgender, and non-binary scientists and advocating for gender equality in science, technology, engineering and mathematics (STEM). Historically, only a small fraction of science degrees were awarded to women, but in recent decades, women's overall participation STEM fields has steadily increased. Today, women earn half of all bachelor's degrees in science. The involvement of women and gender minorities in advanced study and careers in STEM fields continues to grow. However, women are still underrepresented in many STEM fields and face significant challenges at the highest levels of these professions. WISAY seeks to help overcome these disparities by supporting women and gender minorities at all career levels through mentoring, networking, career development, and community building.

We are inspired to perform plays with bilingual (Mandarin and English) versions, so as to facilitate cultural conversations and build a bridge between the theater work based in these two language mediums. We also see great value in forming such a cultural club in light of the spike in anti-AAPI sentiments since the start of the pandemic. We are naming the club "Vermilion Theater" as the vermilion bird (a phoenix-like being) is a symbol of tenacity and resilience in Chinese mythology. As we learn about the possibility of safely returning to theater in a world forever changed by COVID, we hope that our organization will bring long-isolated people together, share a sense of normalcy and build a much needed community.
