Empowering Women in Academia | Stronger Together: Uplift, Empower, Advance

Join us for a special International Women’s Day edition of the Empowering Women in Academia series that combines a panel discussion with a facilitated interactive networking activity designed to strengthen mentorship, reciprocity, and building the kinds of professional networks that help women thrive in higher education.

Featuring:
Donna Bell, Secretary of Senate
Dr. Ellen Choi, Associate Professor, HR Management & Organizational Behaviour, TRSM
Sharanjeet Kaur, Chief Administrative Officer, School of Medicine

From Senate governance to faculty life to institutional operations, the panel will share a cross-campus view of how women can build support systems that lead to real momentum - how mentorship evolves across career stages, how to build authentic relationships, and how to move from informal advice to practical strategies.

Following the discussion, participants will take part in a facilitated interactive activity designed to help you name what you need, share what you can offer, and make connections that continue beyond the session.

To reserve your spot for this session please register in advance by Tuesday, March 3, 2026.
