Bunbury, 13th December 2016
The Zonta Club of Bunbury showed its support of local young women by presenting Alyssa Hawkins an award of $500 for continued education. The club presented Alyssa with its inaugural ECU Women in Engineering Award for Excellence on 13th December at a dinner at the Highway Hotel.
According to Service Committee Chairman Linda Brown, Alyssa is a deserving recipient of this award. She is also the first recipient of the South32 Worsley Alumina Scholarship for engineering students studying at ECU’s South West Campus. “She has completed a year of study in Bunbury, but must now move to Perth and will complete her degree at ECU’s Joondalup Campus. Our award is to assist Alyssa in her move. Helping young people continue their education is one of the challenges our community faces, and it’s a need our club wishes to help to address. We also wish to encourage young women to undertake degrees in science and engineering.”
In addition to this award, the club conducts a variety of projects and events, including making and providing breast care cushions free of charge to those who have had a mastectomy, assembling birthing kits for women in developing countries, education scholarships and assistance to local groups that provide services to women and girls.
Since 1919 Zonta International has been a leading global organisation of professionals empowering women worldwide through service and advocacy. Around 30,000 members belong to 1,200 Zonta Clubs in 66 countries.
