Women in Science and Engineering (WISE Atlantic)

06/28/2023

This week we hosted a wonderful celebration of the NSERC Chair for Women in Science and Engineering - Atlantic Region, and founder of WISEatlantic, Dr. Tamara Franz-Odendaal. Seeing and hearing from others how much Dr. Franz-Odendaal and WISEatlantic have impacted so many within the Atlantic region and beyond was truly inspirational.

A HUGE thank you to all who were able to attend the event, as well as all the team members, sponsors, partners, role models, and participants who've contributed so much to our program over the last 12 years.
