EWAAB

Dear EWAAB Community, ? Yesterday we grieved. We had a vision for a promising future that didn’t come to fruition, so we grieved. We took a moment to check in on ourselves and our loved ones, we found comfort in food or exercise or friends; we just took the day. ? That was yesterday. ? Today, we get back to work. Our mission, no matter what the world looks like, is to provide the next generation of young women and non-binary students with access to the tools and resources they need to succeed. ? Today, we reaffirm our commitment to this community. We promise to use positive encouragement to build both personal and professional confidence. We promise to provide equitable access to programs and resources. We promise to build a welcoming and inclusive community for all. ? We are ready to push forward even when it feels like the world is taking a step back. Let's get to work. Sam Collins Chief Executive Officer

Where they can persist in fields they are passionate about whether it’s engineering, finance, fashion or history. Where they can exceed expectations and rise to leadership roles. Can you see it? Are you ready to make it a reality? Each year we support undergraduate students as they work hard to develop their professional skills and grow their confidence.

"EWAAB is one of the best things I could’ve accomplished for myself. I stepped out of my comfort zone countless of times as a mentee and mentor. My soft skills & public speaking skills improved a lot! EWAAB made me more confident and fearless." Meet Lotus Uong, who recently graduated from McGill University, receiving her Bachelor of Science in Physiology. She started her mentorship journey at EWAAB in 2020 as a mentee and continued as a Primary Mentor in 2021. "I’ve networked and worked with women/non-binary students from Caltech University, Oxford, Texas A&M, McGill & CEOs. I am currently a chief assistant at a newly opened pediatric clinic, working alongside incredible women physicians. And, one day, I’ll be a doctor too! "

Happy Juneteenth from the EWAAB community to you!
