I am a Youth Engagement Program Coordinator at SCWIST (scwist.ca/) an organization that works to introduce K-12 girls to a wide range of exciting career options and positive female role models in STEM.
I am writing to you in hopes that you can share information about eMentoring, our unique mentoring program for grade 10-12 girls who are interested in or curious about STEM careers. eMentoring is a free 6-week program that pairs girls in high schools across BC with female role models in science, tech, engineering and math careers. Students and their mentors are sent weekly discussion questions, covering topics such as their career path, post-secondary life, work environments, finances, work/life balance, and what to do with your degree. eMentoring is done entirely over email. The time commitment is approximately 1 hour a week. Learn more about eMentoring: scwist.ca/programs/ms-infinity/ I hope you can share it with those who might be interested at your school. The next round of eMentoring runs from October 12 to November 20. Applications are due October 9. Students can apply online: https://scwist.ca/forms/ementoring-student-application/ If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to ask!

First-year engineering program RE-ENGINEEREDIn fall 2021, the College of Engineering at USask will offer the most effective first-year engineering program in Canada. Dubbed RE-ENGINEERED, the program will help future engineers develop a more robust and diverse skillset than ever before.
Program featuresRE-ENGINEERED classes will vary in length and intensity, with material sequenced so when students learn knowledge in one course, they can immediately apply it in another. Shorter courses in RE-ENGINEERED mean a broader range of material will be covered, making students more employable after their first year. There are no final exam periods in RE-ENGINEERED. Students will be tested throughout their courses using a competency-based approach to assessment. Students will have multiple opportunities to show competency in key material, and later attempts will count more than early ones.
