In 2018-2019, women made up 28% of professorial positions in Canada. Full professors earned an annual average salary of $158,624 compared to the $166,925 earned by their male peers at the same rank. Women are also less likely than men to achieve tenure and hold high ranking positions. BIPOC women are especially underrepresented in academia.
Join us on October 1 for a riveting conversation with Dr. Grace Wong Sneddon who will share her life story, career path, and key decisions leading to career success. She will be also giving tips to BIPOC women who want to take on leadership roles.
