YWiB SFU Programs
SOUL Mentorship Program
SOUL stands for Supporting Our University Leaders. The SOUL Mentorship Program provides an interactive learning environment for SFU’s female leaders while focusing on facilitated growth and relationship building within SFU as well as the broader professional community.
“One of the things I gained from being a SOUL mentee was a mentor who was kind, generous, likes brunch, incredibly supportive, and not afraid to give me that extra push when I needed it. It’s like having a big sister to turn to for advice, or a friend who is always happy to help you out in any way she can.”
WISE Workshop Series
WISE stands for Women Investing in Skills and Experience. We provide opportunities for young women to bridge the path and lower the barriers between women and the technology industry. Our main mission is to promote personal development by allowing members to learn and enhance their skills through workshops, socials, and company office tours. Each workshop series will focus on different industry-relevant skills.
“This workshop was something that I had no regrets taking. It taught me skills that I was able to put on my resume and apply to future projects and jobs. WISE also exposed me to industry professionals that I was able to network with and build relationships. With the positive experience I had, I hope to create the same experience I had with the new members.”
