On February 11, 2025, a delegation from our institution led by Global Initiatives Director Prince Adman El-Hashemite, attended the 10th International Day of Women and Girls in Science Assembly at the United Nations Headquarters in New York. The event, organized by the Royal Academy of Science International Trust (RASIT) and the Permanent Mission of Malta, celebrated a decade of efforts to promote gender equality in science. 

Our delegation included Vice President for Academic Affairs Dr. Bindhu Alappat, nursing faculty member Renee Bollenbach, and seven students. The assembly provided a platform to discuss the critical role of women and girls in science and technology, emphasizing their contributions to sustainable development. Our participation underscored our commitment to empowering women in STEM fields and offered valuable insights into global initiatives aimed at fostering engagement in scientific communities.
