The in-person workshop is an opportunity to get some hands-on skills and leave the workshop with auto-confidence!

The Women in Engineering Committee, in collaboration with the National Society of Black Engineers, will be sitting down for a fireside chat with Ajoa Mintah, UWaterloo Chemical Engineering Graduate and owner/founder of Four All Ice Cream. We will be speaking with Ajoa about her journey as a black, female entrepreneur. Participants will have the opportunity to ask Ajoa about her experience and journey from engineering student to business owner.

You are invited to attend the 2023 Women in Engineering Summit (WES) UWaterloo Watch Party on Friday, June 9th from 10:30AM to 6:00PM.

Choose to watch only the speakers that interest you or stay the whole day and network with your peers and P.Engs!

WES 2023 has an incredible line-up of speakers who will empower underrepresented communities of engineering professionals such as:

• Women, indigenous, and LGBTQIA2S+ by addressing unconscious bias, inclusion strategies, career planning, and mental wellbeing.

• Internationally Trained Professionals (ITPs), who often must navigate a different culture and unwritten rules in the Canadian workplace.

Refreshments will be served. Please register here or use the QR code attached.

About WES & 30 by 30: The Women in Engineering Summit is an annual opportunity to create a space where experiences and practical solutions for staying in the profession from graduation until retirement could be shared. The 30 by 30 Initiative will help Canada achieve the key developmental target of having 30 percent of newly licensed engineers in Canada who identify as women.
