About the organizer
The Women in Science and Engineering – Atlantic Region (WISEatlantic) Program aims to shift gendered STEM stereotypes. We empower girls to consider Science, Technology, Engineering and Math (STEM)-based careers by raising their awareness of the diversity of jobs within these fields, and enabling them to visualize themselves working in these fields. WISEatlantic also supports early career women in STEM through professional development and networking opportunities.
WISEatlantic is chaired by Dr. Tamara Franz-Odendaal, Professor of Biology at Mount Saint Vincent University, Nova Scotia.
