ABOUT US
SMU Women’s Connection strives to bring like-minded, aspiring individuals together for networking and enriching social interactions, to positively impact the community and spread awareness regarding female empowerment.
We embrace an intersectional approach — recognising that our identities and lived experiences are shaped by interconnected realities of race, class, sexuality, geography and more. Our events — ranging from networking sessions to insightful talks and panel dialogues — explore the intricacies of these issues while sparking conversations that matter.
KEY EVENTS

Held in March every year, our signature panel discussion and networking event EquiTable Talks brings together speakers from a wide variety of backgrounds to discuss topics related to that year's International Women's Day theme. - Monthly Meetings
