2) Highlights of New Features on WISE Ottawa’s New Website

 

Of course, our website still archives all of our newsletters and events in case you misplace a newsletter or event notice. We also have information on upcoming conferences related to women in science and engineering. However, our newly renovated website now offers many more features! Over the next couple of newsletters, we’ll highlight some of the interesting features now available to you.

From time to time we will change the question to attain feedback from our members. Please share your opinions so that we can continue to meet the needs of our members!

There is also the opportunity to post job notices if you are working in the public sector (i.e. government, universities, not-for-profit organizations, etc.).
