We are pretty excited these days at hEr VOLUTION. Have we told you why?
Have we mentioned how thrilled we are about the success of the ongoing 150 Days of Canadian Women in STEM campaign? We received an overwhelming number of nominations of #CanWomenSTEM150 women to introduce on social media each week, and we continue receive great feedback from our audience and support from other women in STEM. The daily profiles of women who have achieved success in STEM have sparked conversations, led to partnerships and relationships, and inspired other women step up as advocates. Goal achieved (and we’re not done yet)!
And have we mentioned how excited we are for the concluding event, the Canadian Women in STEM Conference, on July 15th? This event will build on the momentum from the #CanWomenSTEM150 social media campaign and help to support diversity and close the gender gap for women in STEM. Attendees will hear directly from some of the women they’ve been reading about over the months of the online campaign.
But have we told you about our awesome sponsors who provide us with ongoing support and who are helping the conference take shape? We would not be able to pull off such an important event, with such an exciting panel of speakers, without the help of the following generous sponsors:
Finally, let us tell you, none of this would be possible without the dedication of successful women in STEM in Canada, such as these six women that we introduced on social media this week:
-
Dr. Joël Dickinson, associate professor in psychology head of the psychology department at Laurentian University
-
Charlotte Fischer, physicist who created software for calculating atomic structure
-
Samantha Yammine, PhD candidate in the Department of Molecular Genetics at the University of Toronto
-
Skai Spooner, digital communications technology specialist
