I once again want to extend my appreciation to the organizers,
The experience was not only enriching but also eye-opening, as I learned about the many talented women who have made significant contributions to science and tech. I even got to write my own article this time, which was a tonne of fun!

It's great to witness the bonds & friendships that form among our students, transcending borders & bridging cultures.
As we embark on this exciting new semester together, I'm confident that the experiences we share will not only broaden our horizons but also create lasting memories & friendships.
The diversity of perspectives, cultures, & backgrounds that these students bring is truly remarkable. This not only enriches our academic community but also provides a unique opportunity for cross-cultural exchange and collaboration.
