FedEx Empowers Young Women Through Scholarship Program

By


FedEx donated US$35,000 to Zonta's Empowering Women Scholarship Program (EWSP), which supports marginalized women enrolled in engineering and science courses.  The grant will benefit graduating engineering scholars from Polytechnic University of the Philippines for three academic years. For the 2022 school year, 14 EWSP scholars have been granted financial support for transportation, food, school supplies, thesis research, and graduation fees.


Throughout the month-long virtual mentorship webinar series, FedEx conducted online learning sessions to help the scholars develop skills for the corporate world, including knowledge sharing on leadership and project management skills and delivering high-quality customer service. 


 “As part of our Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion commitment, we are focused on enabling and empowering every individual so they have equal opportunities to grow professionally and create a better future for themselves. This collaboration with Zonta Club demonstrates that commitment to delivering more possibilities to women through education,” said Maribeth Espinosa, managing director of FedEx Express Philippines. 


“Since 2009, Zonta Club of Makati has been committed to providing scholarships to young women from marginalized families. Through our collaboration with FedEx, we are optimistic that our scholarship program will reach new heights and empower more young women to achieve their dreams and become valuable, contributing members of our society,” said Nicole Suyin Lee, EWSP head of Zonta Club of Makati and Environs.


To date, Zonta has helped a total of 163 young women in Engineering and Science courses.

Scientific fact: Women are more attracted to men with facial hair

By
Science says it. Men with facial hair are more attractive. A study in the 70s and two more recent ones conducted by Neave and Shields in 2008 and Dixson and Brooks in 2013 all came up with the same conclusion: Most women find men with a stubble or a five-o’clock shadow very, very attractive.   Although the women’s perception of male attractiveness changed according to the amount and length of men’s facial hair, most women in the study found men with a moderate amount of facial hair to be the most attractive. Some women did prefer men with no facial hair, but to the majority, men with no facial hair were not very attractive and seemed the least likely romantic partners. Women perceived full bearded men to be aggressive, more mature and a bit too much to handle.
