Organized by the University of Ottawa and Invest Ottawa
Conventional wisdom often tells us that our career paths are linear and there’s only one way to get to where we want to go. But what if this isn’t necessarily the case? What if there are multiple pathways to successful careers? What if you take unconventional paths to achieve success, work on cool stuff with pretty cool people?
Join us as we learn from three powerful womxn who will share their stories on how they dared to be different, and how grit, courage, and resiliency propels them to achieve success on their own terms, while impacting their communities. Come ready to be inspired and ask questions of our panellists!
This event features a representative from the Telfer community:
Julie Lupinacci (EMBA 2016), Chief Customer Officer at Hydro Ottawa
Sophia Leong (EMBA 1995), Executive Lead, Development & International Relations at the University of Ottawa
The word “womxn” is an alternative term to the English language word “women.” We use this term to explicitly include those who identify as women, transgender women, women of colour and non-binary individuals. This choice supports our concerted effort to create a culture of belonging.
Invest Ottawa and the University of Ottawa
On March 8, the world celebrates International Women’s Day. This year from March 1 – 9, Invest Ottawa with its partners will run the 3rd Annual International Womxn’s Week (IWW) with a shared goal - to inspire, equip and empower womxn professionally. It will take all of us working together to expedite change. That is why the University of Ottawa is partnering with Invest Ottawa to bring nine jam-packed days of virtual events to you.
