Council President of Engineers Nova Scotia, Denise Pothier, P. Eng., FEC, delivered a powerful keynote presentation at Saint Francis Xavier University on Sept. 25 as a guest of the StFX Women in Engineering (WIE) Society.

The speech, effectively called The Calling of the Engineer, was geared towards students in STEM and attracted a wide audience, from university to junior high-school students, to the Dean of Science as well as faculty and staff across departments.

This was one of the WIE Society’s outreach events which ultimately aims to break barriers within STEM, make connections in the community and bring about a sense of belonging for those of all experiences, ages and backgrounds.
