Happy International Women's Day! A couple of the superstar student staff in our department organized this event, and it was absolutely fantastic. While it isn't a Women's Day event, the emphasis on Women in Leadership was a great celebration of awesome people.

Experience:
- Hart House Lunch (yum)
- 15 minute speaker, followed by group discussion at tables
- Three rounds of speaker/discussion
What I learned:
- First off, I really really enjoy this format; it's nice to have some time to discuss concepts after someone's spoken
- There's some really fantastic research happening across the university in different departments
- Really great to hear from different women on their research which is largely intersectional
- It was a nice way for me to connect concepts I've learned in class into a different context
