With the start of the 2024-2025 school year quickly approaching, Promoting Opportunities for Women in Engineering (POWE) wants to invite you to join the EmPOWEr Mentorship Program! Starting university can be an intimidating experience and incoming students may be unaware of the resources that McGill or the EUS has to offer.The EmPOWEr program aims to ease this transition for incoming gender minority engineering students by pairing current McGill engineering students with the incoming cohort in hopes of providing mentorship and learning the ins and outs of life as a female-identifying engineering student.The mentor-mentee pair is encouraged to communicate weekly from the week of August 5th to the week of August 26th & the program concludes with a back-to-school social! Our deadline for registrations is Friday, August 2nd 2024. Here are the sign up links for interested students:
Shadow Days
This program is for:
Female-identifying high school/CEGEP students
Duration of mentorship:
1 day
Date:
Register for any day during the academic year (September-April)
Choosing your university major is a big decision, and being informed about your options can make the choice a lot easier. The Shadow Days program welcomes high school/CEGEP students who are currently applying or have already applied to McGill University’s Faculty of Engineering and gives them a chance to shadow a current engineering student. This gives the mentee an opportunity to learn more about what a day-in-the-life of an engineering student entails - this can include going to classes with the mentor, visiting hot-spots around campus like departmental lounges, the library, Frostbite ice cream store, or even just simply getting some questions answered. This program provides a personalized and friendly tour of the perks of being an engineering student at McGill! (And the tour ends with free ice cream!)
