Over the last three years the All-University Committee on the Status of Women has hosted a summit where women (and a few men) have come together to discuss and learn from each other.
The main goals of the Summit are to promote a culture of networking and mentoring and offer a significant professional development opportunity for faculty, staff, and students.
The planning committee for the Summit decided that the conference style sessions and an opening speaker were great ways to network and will continue the dialogue of mentoring and education from the previous years.
Our learning outcomes this year have to do with three areas that women involved in our community can impact one another.
Inspiration
- Participants will recognize personal gifts and talents
- Participants will discern what inspires them in career or personal life
- Participants will learn how to make time for reflection
Influence
- Participants will learn strategies to share gifts and talents to make positive change
- Participants will gain perspective on their sphere of influence within their career or personal life
Innovation
- Participants will begin to recognize their ability to be agents of change for others
- Participants will reflect on reframing the world into a preferred lens
