Celebrating International Women’s Day 2022- Webinar with Katie Matthews

The 2022 UN theme for International Women's Day is "Gender equality today for a sustainable tomorrow", looking to highlight the contribution of women and girls around the globe, who participate in their communities promoting on climate change adaptation, mitigation, and response, to build a more sustainable future for all.

The mission for women in business is to forge inclusive work cultures where women's careers thrive, and their achievements are celebrated. Here at SERC, through our Entrepreneur Club, we have created an environment where all students are supported and celebrated in their business endeavours.

The Enterprise, Entrepreneurship and the Environment Team wish to celebrate those women in our community who are inspiring change and have built successful enterprises around business and the environment. The Entrepreneur Club are delighted to be hosting an online event on Teams hosted by special guest, Katie Matthews to celebrate International Women's Day.
