The Brown Bag Series is a monthly event organized by the Society of Canadian Women in Science and Technology (SCWIST) whose purpose is to provide a place for learning and discussion of topics to help women in STEM fields advance their careers.
Do you have a passion for seeking leadership opportunities? Do you find fast-paced professional work environments exhilarating and refreshing? Wish you had more information on how to get involved? Look no further, the Society for Canadian Women in Science & Technology (SCWIST) has an opportunity you don’t want to miss! On Friday, October 30th 2015, we have the pleasure of having Pamela Rogalski, the Co-founder and CEO of the Engineering Leadership Council, as our keynote speaker! As women are increasingly pursuing and holding top leadership positions in science, engineering, technology and mathematics, it is important to learn from valuable experiences of those before us and to find supporting role models. Like other intensive professions, there are always challenges in such demanding and competitive environments. Our talk will focus on preparing and inspiring individuals to strive for their greatest potentials, as well as provide insight and knowledge on responsibilities and barriers associated with these leadership positions. The event will take place from 12:15 pm-2:00pm in the School of Population and Public Health (Room B104), and all are welcome!
