Meet the Fifty50 Directors Team for 2026! 🪩

We're so excited to introduce the incredible people behind Fifty50 this year!

From advocacy and community initiatives to industry partnerships, marketing, strategy and operations, our directors are working hard to create opportunities, connections and a supportive community for women and non-binary students in STEM at ANU.

Swipe through to meet the team and you might learn a new fun fact, or get some questionable advice on how to handle labs or exams... 👀

We're looking forward to an exciting year of events, collaborations and growth, and we can't wait to share it with all of you! 💫

It has been a week since our collab trivia night with ANU Golden Z Club and Women & Non-binary People in STEM Leadership communities so here is a quick little recap!

We spent the evening at badger filled with good conversation, trivia and prizes. Thanks to you all who came we raised $174 for Share the Dignity to help end period poverty in Australia!!!

We had a great night and hope you did too, see you at the next event ✨

What's stopping you from applying to be a mentor/mentee for Fifty50's First Year Mentoring Program?

FYMP is a great chance for mentors and mentees alike to meet people in the same area of study over free coffee!!

Get in now before applications close tomorrow: https://forms.gle/vo6QG5AvNKTr7w3V6

ARE YOU A STEM STUDENT AT ANU? SIGN UP TO BE A MENTOR/MENTEE TODAY: https://forms.gle/rBdc56Fn76NDNChE9

A mentor-mentee relationship is a fantastic way to build confidence and support networks, hear guidance and advice and set goals for the future. Later year STEM students are paired with first year STEM students in which mentors will meet with mentees a few times a semester over free coffee to share tips about handling university, what to expect as students move through their degree, and share their experiences of gender equity in their fields.

This opportunity is relevant to all STEM students (undergraduate/graduate and regardless of gender).

📢 WE ARE LOOKING FOR DIRECTORS 📢

Fifty50 was founded in 2015 by students of the then College of Engineering and Computer Science to promote the issue of gender equality in their college. In the decade since, our focus had broadened to encompass the mission of promoting gender equity in STEM at the ANU.

If this is a mission you want to support, apply for a director role today.

Application deadline has been EXTENDED!

We still need people to apply for the Industry Director and Mentoring Director roles, so if this sounds like you get in quick!
