Events: 2021 - 2022 

Women in Data Analytics 

January 2021

 

WIB welcomed five panelists from a variety of different backgrounds to share their career paths, the challenges they have faced, and tips and tricks on how to succeed in the data analytics industry. While discussing their career paths, we also dove into deeper conversations regarding the difficulties that women face within the field. Data analytics is a key industry where the number of male employees and executives outweigh the number of female employees and executives, especially when climbing up the corporate ladder. The goal of this event is to discuss the influences and challenges that women face in securing positions of leadership.

WIBx

November 2021

 

Wrapping up the Fall Term, WIB hosted a TED Talk-inspired, three-part speakers series event, WIBx! With a focus on highlighting stories worth sharing, we invited several people to the virtual stage to share their take on the theme of the event, "Be Bold For Change." First, Aishah Sonekan -- our student speaker -- facilitated a presentation and interactive activity, "Dare to Discover the YOU You Dream of." Then, we invited back two former WIB Presidents and Goodman Alumni, Shania Walden and Jayna Sutaria, to share their experiences post-grad. Finally, our special Keynote TEDx Speaker and CEO of Global Professionals Practicum, Jessica Lui, concludes our event with a speech and Q&A session with our audience.

Mental Illness Awareness Week

October 2021

In light of Mental Illness Awareness Week, WIB invited Seema Iyer to speak, with the focal point of our event being anxiety. Stemming from her professional training as a Yoga and Meditation Instructor, Seema finds that yoga and meditation are powerful tools for anxiety. During our event, she coached us about grounding techniques for calming anxiety and demonstrated breathing sequences from yoga which tap on tradition Chinese acupuncture points. Seema guided us through a short, interactive meditation session and gave us insight for dealing with anxiety in everyday life. 

Women in Accounting 

September 2021

 

In collaboration with Goodman's Accounting Students Association, WIB hosted Women in Accounting - a panel event that focuses on the female experience in the accounting industry! Despite women obtaining half of all auditor, accountant, and investment positions in Canada, the challenges they face within the industry creates a difficult dynamic for women in the workspace. During this event, WIB dove into discussions on the underrepresentation of women of colour, lack of women in leadership roles, and persistent gender pay gap present in the field of accounting.

WIB After Dark

NOVEMBER 2020

 

We hosted one of our biggest events - WIB AFTER DARK! This event focused on the challenges women face in the workplace and we discussed “taboo” topics that may be uncomfortable to speak about in a formal panel discussion. WIB After Dark created a safe environment where students and industry professionals had a honest conversation about the double-bind dilemma, microaggressions, and negotiations. All attendees had the opportunity to network and chat with our speakers!
