In Roads to Influence 

Women in leadership positions on campus and in the community discuss their paths to leadership. Panelists are asked questions pertaining to the rewards and challenges of being a woman of influence. The moderator delves into the women’s secret to success and probes for advice and other helpful tips for persons interested in obtaining or maintaining a leadership role. The Women’s Center partnered with the Carpenter Library Special Collections Department in 2009 to begin hosting In Roads to Influence. The event features panelists who discuss the paths they have taken to leadership positions.

 

In Roads To Influence is in September.
