It was the nerdiest party of the year.
The W-League at Andrew Richard Designs celebrated their official launch party – GEEK CHIC.
The idea was celebrated the countless achievements of the Weizmann Institute of Science.
The W League is a committee of young professionals focused on raising awareness about The Weizmann Institute of Science. Its name pays homage to the original Weizmann League, formed in the 1960s, whose original members still thrive as supporters.
The W League has 3 clear goals. Inform. Involve. Ignite.
1. Inform. Spread the word about the incredible work Weizmann is doing, their achievements and how they are helping to solve our planet’s biggest challenges.
2. Involve. Create innovative opportunities, programs, events and fundraisers that not only spread the word but also “involve” current and potential members in the pursu
it of Science for the Benefit of Humanity.
3. Ignite. Fuel the natural excitement that occurs in all of us when we learn about what is possible through science and how Weizmann’s cutting edge scientific discoveries are helping to ensure a better future.
Through a carefully curated series of social and networking events and programs, the W-League is committed to achieving these goals.
