SWiM: Supporting Women in MDHS

What is SWiM?

The Supporting Women in MDHS (SWiM) program aims to promote gender equity and support academic promotion of women in our Faculty.

SWiM aims to encourage women to step into leadership roles in their academic careers, as well as strategically prepare them for academic promotion.

SWiM: Inspiring Stories

In this monthly seminar series, Professor Natalie Hannan, Associate Dean Diversity and Inclusion, invites women in leadership to reflect on their careers and share their advice, knowledge and experience. The series is open to all staff, students and honoraries in the faculty.
