WISE Membership Renewals Now Open

As of this week, current members will be receiving notifications about renewing their WISE membership, which will expire on June 15. Note that membership status will not impact your summer class registrations, since these fall outside of the membership. (Psst: Not all summer classes have started, so there is still time to sign up for a class or two: Click here to visit the registration page)

Once you are ready to renew, click on the link in the renewal email you received, or use the button below. As always, reach out to the WISE office if you prefer to process your renewal offline, via check.
