Munster Technological University are hosting MTU Empowering Women 2021 in celebration of our first International Women’s Day as a fledgling university. The event aims to send a strong message of support, solidarity, hope, and encouragement to our MTU community during these exciting but challenging times.
The speaker line-up kicks off with MTU’s first president, Prof. Maggie Cusack, in herself an iconic role model for females as the second only woman to be elected president of a university in our nation’s history. The speaker agenda also includes three MTU alumni, the inspirational Leanne McDonagh, MTU’s Traveller Education Coordinator; Sylvia Fouhy, Vice President, Johnson and Johnson, New Jersey; and Deirdre O’Connor, Managing Director, BlackRock, New York City. The event will feature music from the MTU Cork School of Music, MTU IWD2021 Ambassador/Role Model videos and messages of support from prominent, inspiring Irish women, including our own First Lady Sabina Higgins.
MTU EMPOWERING WOMEN 2021 is a free MTU community event organised by representatives from across the university. For further information and to register, see mtuempoweringwomen.ie Please share with colleagues, family and friends, all welcome to attend.
