Who we are
We are a U of T graduate student group of self-identifying women engineer volunteers working to build a supportive and inclusive community for students in STEM at U of T. We are supported by the Faculty of Applied Science and Engineering and organize community building and professional development events for the graduate students throughout the academic year. We are also engaged in collaborating with and supporting other student groups on campus. To learn more about our events, connect with us on social media, email us or subscribe to our newsletter. We also welcome all student volunteers to help with organizing events, STEM drives, communications and budgeting and develop leadership skills.
GradSWE met on May 6th to vote on updates to our constitution and approve a new Code of Conduct policy document. Thank you to all of the members who attended! The motions were successfully approved by a quorum (2/3 members) and the updated documents can be viewed below:
We also discussed the upcoming elections in July (for further information scroll down to read about the leadership opportunities) and an update on GradSWE’s finances.
Finally, the university will be working on an accessible & gender-neutral washroom in Galbraith Hall following our petition. Congratulations to Jennifer Gordon for making this happen!
