The Petroleum Institute | Annual Report - Academic Year 2011 - 2012 University) which have encouraged many students to consider undertaking graduate studies. Arzanah celebrated the launch of its Alumnae Association, “Danat Arzanah”. Alumnae addressed WISE students as “Big Sisters” in the “Freshman Success Seminar” course and the “Danat Arzanah Forum” where they shared their work experience with students. During Abu Dhabi’s ‘Leaders of the Future Summit: Bridging the Gender Gap in the Oil & Gas Sector’ in April, alumnae and senior students spoke on “The Petroleum Institute’s WISE Program: What Makes Us Different!” Efforts Focused on Curriculum, Student Learning and Opportunities: In the past year, thanks largely to outside sponsors, students have been given the opportunity to travel and to have authentic work and research experience. • JODCO/INPEX Group sponsors five WISE senior students from Petroleum Engineering and Petroleum Geosciences for a 3-week summer workshop in Japan. • PI Research funds two Petroleum Geoscientist senior students on a 17-day American workshop on different geological formations. • Wintershall, together with the PI, funded an 8-day industrial visit to Germany for 10 junior and senior students. • Borouge sponsors a Chemical Engineering senior student in a 2-day visit to the European Petrochemical Association Conference (EPCA) and Students’ Workshop, Berlin. Three alumnae have enrolled full-time in PI’s graduate programs and five as part-time students. Two PI graduates are currently studying in the US (MIT and University of Minnesota). Two more students are about to enroll in Stanford and Cornell Universities and fifteen senior students are currently enrolled in the PI’s 4+1 program. Commencement: The 6th Commencement celebrated the graduation of the Class of 2011 which included 60 female engineers and geoscientists. By the end of Academic Year 2011-2012, over 100 WISE alumnae will have joined the ADNOC workforce, of which 81% are Emiratis. Table II reflects the profile of the Class of 2011 and partial projection for Class of 2012. 116
