— Graduate Women International news —
GWI President Catherine Bell is visiting Ireland, hosted by the Irish Federation of University Women (IrFUW).  During her stay she has visited the four Irish Associations and took part in their events, in addition to visits to universities and institutions that are about to join IrFUW.  Her first engagement was to speak at the IrFUW International Day event at the Kildare St and University Club in Dublin on 21 May, and she was present for the handover of the IrFUW presidency from Dr Marion Gibson to Mary Morrissey.  According to newsletter editor Ms Martina Mulrine, Irish members were impressed by how the GWI President and her team in Geneva have modernised GWI and strengthened its profile.  On 25 May she spoke at the Galway Association of Women Graduates Annual Lunch. She has also been hosted by University College Dublin Women Graduates Association, Dublin University Women Graduates¡¯ Association and Queen¡¯s Women Graduates.

GWI¡¯s national federations and associations help to integrate graduate women refugees
The GWI national member in Sweden, Swedish University Women (KAF) have a new initiative to integrate graduate women called the Professional Key Project. Members of KAF bring together women newly arrived in Sweden to share professional contacts, skills upgrading opportunities and culturally relevant advice for job searching.  GWI has a long history of assisting graduate women who have been displaced as a result of war, political upheaval or other serious emergencies. A fund was established as the IFUW Emergency Fund in 1936, to help women who had been deprived of the right to work or to live in their own countries. Now named the Hegg Hoffet Fund after a particularly active Swiss fundraiser and activist for the Fund, GWI¡¯s member associations continue this tradition of helping women to integrate into their host nations.  Please see here for more information and to donate to the Hegg Hoffet Fund.
