"Hello! I’m Wendy Song, your Gender Equality Officer this year. In the same role last year, I have been striving to fulfil my commitment to fostering an inclusive environment and empowering our communities to fight against disparity.
This year, armed with the wisdom gained from past experiences and a forward-looking vision for the future. I will deepen and broaden my commitment to EDI with the following goals to enhance equality and reduce disparities:
- Work with faculties to promote gender equality in pursuing research careers, postgraduate degrees, and permanent academic roles.
- Organize career fairs for women in STEMB fields to improve job and internship access.
- Continue fundraising efforts on International Women’s Day to support girls in the broader community.
- Advocate for daily distribution of feminine hygiene products in all female and gender-neutral restrooms on campus.
- Partner with faculties, particularly engineering, to increase female student applications.
I am excited to continue this important work and make a lasting, positive impact on our vibrant community!"
