WiSE Committee
The Women in Science and Engineering (WiSE) Committee organizes the WiSE networking event annually. It is an opportunity for women (and non-binary or gender non-conforming persons) in science and engineering to gain connections and insight into career paths, future plans, and opportunities to delve into. It aims to facilitate connections between undergraduates and industry professionals in engineering and science fields. We provide an opportunity to initiate networking and creating a community that fosters a sense of belonging among women in engineering and science at UBC, as well as within the broader female STEM community.
Past Events:
Last year, their main event featured a keynote and a panel, in addition to several mentorship rounds featuring alumni across over 40 companies. WiSE expanded their event community to almost 200 individuals and hopes to further inspire women in science and engineering to gain connections and insights into career paths, future plans, and opportunities to delve into as they envision themselves in such a role.
