Empower Hour: Empowering and building allyship for women in engineering
CSME/CFD2024 invites you to attend a panel discussion over lunch on Monday. The Empower Hour will be an open forum to discuss the challenges that women face in engineering, both in academia and industry. Our goal is to grow awareness, build allyship, and inform practices that can transform the landscape for gender equity and healthy working and learning environments. This will be an inclusive and informal gathering open to all participants (all genders).

What do I do with this PhD?
Whether you’re a postdoc considering your future, a PhD student looking ahead to graduation, or a master’s or undergrad student mulling whether to pursue a PhD, we invite you to a panel discussion on the career pathways of PhDs, and how to prepare for those options. We’ve assembled a panel of four PhDs who’ve followed very different career pathways. Come join us for what is sure to be an engaging discussion, followed by an hour to network and meet the panelists. 5:45-6:45 in MY150, followed by a reception (with drinks + finger food) from 7-8 pm on the fifth floor of the Myhal Centre. All are welcome!
