Bye fellow
I look up to those inspirational leading ladies who started and developed this fantastic college. In my eyes, Murray is a living breathing realisation of the vision I stand for, that’s to facilitate, celebrate and empower female students to reach their full potential thereby, improving the female participation in technological fields and other underrepresented sectors which would ultimately help us to reach the gender equality as a society one day.
