We advocate for equity and inclusion and like to recognize and celebrate the contributions that women have made and continue to make in the scientific community, which have often gone unacknowledged. Women are overwhelmingly underrepresented in STEM fields, and lack support and opportunities. They want to bring awareness to the gender barriers that exist in STEM fields, in order to take action to move forward. UFV WEST aims to empower women and other minorities to find success in STEM, and ultimately ensure that STEM is a place for everyone.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/ufvwest\"><strong>Facebook<\/strong><\/a><strong> | <a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/ufvwest\/\">Instagram<\/a> | <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/ufvwest\">Twitter<\/a> @ufvwest | <a href=\"https:\/\/mycampuslife.ufv.ca\/organization\/ufvwest\">MyCampusLife<\/a> | <a href=\"mailto:ufvwest@gmail.com\">ufvwest@gmail.com<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<h3>Let&#8217;s meet the executive team for 2020\/2021!<\/h3>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft wp-image-10160 size-thumbnail\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/St_Martin.Isabelle-150x150.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/St_Martin.Isabelle-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/St_Martin.Isabelle-45x45.jpg 45w, https:\/\/blogs.ufv.ca\/science\/files\/2020\/09\/St_Martin.Isabelle-65x65.jpg 65w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><strong>Isabelle St-Martin <\/strong>(she\/her), President<\/p>\n<p>Isabelle is a 4th year biology major, physics major, math minor.
