A Mentorship Night is for women students in STEM to participate in a roundtable mentorship opportunity with working professionals from leading engineering and IT companies. Join us for the last mentorship circle of the fall semester, on how to develop your technical presentation skills!

During this session, you will:

Build a Solid Presentation Game Plan: Learn how to set up your slides and structure your talk so your ideas come across clearly and make sense from start to finish.

Make STEM Topics Easy to Understand: Pick up tips on breaking down complex information, using visuals that work, and making sure both technical and non-technical audiences can follow along.

Boost Your Confidence on Stage: Get practical advice on body language, tone, and pacing so you feel more comfortable speaking and leave your audience impressed.

Who can attend?

We encourage women from all backgrounds and identities to join this Mentorship Night, especially women students in a Carleton University Bachelor, Master’s or Doctoral program, of: engineering, IT, applied science, computer science, mathematics, or physics. We are committed to creating spaces that are welcoming and supportive to women of all backgrounds, intersecting identities, and experiences – including racialized women, women with disabilities, Indigenous women, etc.
