Secondly, by hosting a speaker series that invites world-renowned speakers who have worked in global development and engineering across international contexts to present their experiences to the student body during Global Engineering Week in March. Thirdly, by organizing local events with other UW clubs throughout the year, aimed to test and apply students’ learning in global engineering to competitions and real-world scenarios.

IC x UW is a student run organization influenced by the “Innocence Canada Foundation".

Our club will do so by hosting seminars with criminal defence lawyers in the KW area, as well as run fundraisers that will donate its proceeds to Innocence Canada. The money raised will support both the exonerees and their financial needs, as well as the organization as a whole. ICUW is open to anyone interested in law and activism.
