Speakers

The yearly Women’s Leadership Conference provides a platform for students and alumnae to engage in conversations that examine leadership role models and celebrates the accomplishments of our alumnae. We invite panelists to share stories of innovative programs, research, community building, and personal experiences that expand our understanding of the world and each other. We encourage our students to see the potential agency and power inside themselves through engagement with successful pathbreakers, visionary leaders, and committed citizens.
