IEEE WIE Wine and Cheese

April 1

7:00pm – 10:00pm

The 13th Annual Celebration of Women in Engineering (WIE) Wine & Cheese provides an opportunity for students in engineering to expand their network and spark valuable discussions in a low-pressure environment with experts, professionals, faculty, and fellow students in their interested career fields and create lasting bonds for years to come. We believe that the creativity and intellect of all members of society are essential to accelerate progress towards a sustainable future with innovative technology. Every year, the IEEE WIE University of Ottawa Student Branch works hard to bridge the gap between students and industry through events such as Wine & Cheese. This event is entirely run by students for students.

For many students, this represents an opportunity to create meaningful links to the professional industry in Ottawa. For employers, this is an opportunity to meet in person the next wave of innovators and problem solvers. Expect to see many students from co-op and recent/soon-to-be graduates looking to find out more about you and your work! We hope that you will join us again this year!
