On the weekend of May 25-26, U of T Engineering empowered 90 newly admitted female students through a slew of activities at the Girls’ Leadership in Engineering Experience – also delightfully known as GLEE.
Now in its second year, GLEE is an initiative that aims to inspire graduating female high school students to join the U of T Engineering community. Attendees got the chance to learn more about student life and seek guidance from current engineering students, faculty and alumni. Events included a morning of hands-on workshops led by DEEP instructors, a lunch hosted by the U of T chapter of Women in Science and Engineering (WISE), a panel discussion with successful female alumni, as well as a semi-formal dinner with members of the U of T Engineering community.
