Equity, Diversity, and Inclusion (EDI) has always been at the heart of our society’s mission. We are dedicated to creating a supportive and empowering space for woman-identifying students to thrive throughout their educational journey. To further champion diversity and inclusion, we have partnered with other equity-focused organizations, including McMaster EngiQueers, the National Society of Black Engineers (NSBE), and McMaster Engineers with Disabilities (MEwD). Together, we aim to foster a more inclusive engineering community.

One of our key initiatives is a collaborative conference that explores themes of equity, diversity, inclusion, allyship, and intersectionality. This event not only educates attendees but also nurtures a sense of belonging and shared purpose across the Faculty of Engineering.

In addition to the conference, McMaster WIE hosts a series of workshops and seminars throughout the year, addressing critical topics such as recognizing and addressing microaggressions, thriving as a minority in STEM, understanding intersectionality, and more. These initiatives are designed to spark meaningful conversations and empower our community to create lasting change.
