Dear WISDOM members, [A poster of a gender equality lens Description automatically generated] You are invited to Elevating Excellence in STEM Through a Gender Equity Lens on January 23, 2025 at the Esplanade Riel Footbridge. This evening panel will discuss gender equity in STEM industries, including the challenges present in a non-academic sector, mechanisms to promote equity throughout science, and the resulting collective benefits for non-equity seeking populations. Following the panel, there will be dedicated time for networking with Panelists and additional Distinguished Guests. Due to the limited capacity of the venue, registration is required. A wait list will be generated once we reach capacity for last-minute openings leading up to the event.
