The inaugural Navigating Your Careers: Canadian Celebration of Women in Academia and Industry is a conference led by the University of Waterloo’s Women in Mathematics (WiM) Undergraduate Committee and is joined by other student associations including Women in Health Science, and FemPhys. It will be hosted on March 8th, 2025 from 9:30am-5pm and is aimed to celebrate the achievements of women and gender minorities in Engineering, Health, Mathematics and Science. The conference will include guest speakers and workshops spanning various fields within academia and industry. The conference is open to all post-secondary students of all genders and will take place at the University of Waterloo.

The WiM committee exists to encourage and advocate for women and gender minorities who are interested in studying mathematics and who seek careers in mathematics. We also aim to create an inclusive community of all genders. WiM organizes research, career development, networking and outreach events each school term to provide a safe environment for women and gender minorities to interact and celebrate their achievements.
