UW-Madison Women in Leadership Coffee & Conversation session to focus on Diversity

On Thursday, Feb. 19, the UW-Madison Women and Leadership Coffee & Conversation series will host Diversity: How Do We Keep Talking? in the 3rd floor Northwoods Room of Union South.  The event begins with check-in at 8 a.m., conversation from 8:30 a.m.-9:30 a.m., followed by informal networking from 9:30 a.m.-10 a.m.

Please join us as we engage and discuss diversity and how we can continue to explore its issues in and beyond our campus community.

On Wednesday, April 8, the session will focus on A Dialogue with Young Women Leaders.  Please join us that day as we talk with young women leaders about their campus journey and explore how to identify and nurture future women campus leaders.  This event coincides with the UW-Madison National Diversity Council Women in Leadership Symposium hosted by the Office of the Vice Provost and Chief Diversity Officer, and tentatively will be followed by a joint campus-wide women’s networking event.

These free events feature a presentation and conversation with one of the women deans on campus as well as an opportunity to network. Pre-registration is required.   Go to www.ohrd.wisc.edu and click “Conferences & Special Events” for additional events.
