CREATING SPACE FOR WOMEN TO THRIVE IN STEM

Canada has made progress attracting more women into STEM (science, technology, engineering, and mathematics), but there is still significant work to be done. That’s where 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏdonors like Bruce & Edith Fingarson are looking to make a difference.

NEW: 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏPRIDE STUDENT LEADERSHIP & ADVOCACY AWARD

2SLGBTQIA+ students are powerful advocates, educators, and changemakers—but their work is often unpaid, unrecognized, and emotionally demanding. A new award at 51ÉçÇøºÚÁÏhas been established and will provide:

• Financial support to ease the burden of advocacy work
• Public recognition of courageous leadership
• A platform to inspire others and drive systemic change.
