About Us

Evening with Industry

In September 2015 WISE US launched their first ever EWI event. The event consisted of a formal dinner and networking session in which students from Memorial University had the opportunity to connect with industry professionals, both male and female, in their field of interest. Along with the benefit of learning from these professionals, this event also allowed students to develop their networking and communication skills as well as listen to some guest speakers from various industries whom of which were all in different stages of their career. This event attracted more than 70 people and due to its success it is expected to grow in the coming years.
