Hear from our attendees
Everything I heard inspired and reminded me of the strengths I have, reminded me to appreciate people I have around me, and not to stop working for change and inclusion.
The Symposium was very empowering; it added a lot to my confidence and enlightened for me for my future paths.
I walked away from this event inspired and changed. From just one day in the company of incredible leaders I learnt many lessons.
This event has helped me immensely and will assist me in my current and future career as well as on a personal level.
I have taken two pages of notes/insights and some of them I have already used in my professional life!
I took many valuable lessons, examples that will assist us in exploring options to better support women and increase their participation in STEM disciplines. It will also help us further explore support opportunities for our first nations members and their intersectionality.
