The choice of location offers a setting that allows attendees to fully immerse themselves in the programming that focuses on professional development and personal development.
Attendees can look forward to:
- Connecting with other women leaders from across campus to bring light to common challenges and help build supportive networks through which to share future solutions.
- Going beyond your designated functional area to focus on career advancement and self-improvement.
- Learning from exuberant and accomplished speakers through sessions and candid conversations.
- Leaving the institute refreshed and motivated to apply the knowledge they’ve learned and to help others on campus become better leaders as well.
