SCWIST Wonder Women Networking Evening 2024
Whether you’re studying STEM, curious about it, or just looking to grow your professional network: The Society for Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) and Science World are thrilled to invite you to our Wonder Women Networking Evening!
This FREE event takes place on Whova on Tuesday, March 5 from 5:00pm to 7:00pm PST.
Designed specifically for university students, early career professionals, and those considering a career change, you’ll connect with some incredible “Wonder Women” in STEM who are successful in their fields and passionate about sharing their expertise with the next generation of STEM professionals.
This event was created for those who identify as women in STEM fields, due to a lack of networking opportunities for women. To further our goal of supporting those under-represented in STEM, we invite participants and mentors who identify as trans, genderqueer, non-binary, two-spirit, or gender questioning as long as the framing of the event as a women’s networking space does not feel incongruent with your identity.
We’ll be using Whova for a few rounds of networking between attendees and Wonder Women. Each Wonder Woman will have their own virtual networking table to discuss their field(s) of expertise with attendees.
Register for the event for free here
NOTE: If you are not able to attend the event after signing up, please email us at events_coordinator@scwist.ca ASAP so that we can give your spot to someone on the waitlist.
