A Platform for Arts Students and Women in STEM
Sarah Elsawy, Women & Gender Studies, engaged in an Arts & Science Co-op with the Department of National Defense, Government of Canada. She describes it as the best decision she ever made.
I was able to work on certain projects that aimed to continuously mitigate the gender imbalance to the best of the organization鈥檚 ability. This included reforming our recruitment strategies to reach a more gender-diverse audience. I also had other responsibilities like creating various communication pieces [such as] blog posts to improve the organization鈥檚 public platform on its support to the Women-in-STEM movement.
