Description

In this Candid Conversation (an informal mentorship event), you will hear from a representative at Ross about their experience going from university into the workforce and how they’ve set her career up for success. This is a small group setting, with a maximum of eight women students, where back and forth conversation is strongly encouraged.

This event will be held in-person and there will be light refreshments available for attendees.

We encourage women from all backgrounds and identities to join this Candid Conversation, especially women students in a Carleton University Bachelor, Master’s or Doctoral program, of: engineering, IT, applied science, computer science, mathematics, or physics. We are committed to creating spaces that are welcoming and supportive to women of all backgrounds, intersecting identities, and experiences – including racialized women, women with disabilities, Indigenous women, etc.
