Opening Keynote

Out of Brokenness, We Rise!

Tasha Baston, Founder and CEO of Women Impacting the Next Generation of Sisters (WINGS)

In a moment and without notice, our lives can change forever. Trauma is confusing, intrusive and real. It can take us on a mind ride, filled with twists, turns and curves that tend to break us down. When events come to shake our core, we may question, “Why?” How do we function when things are silent during a difficult time in our lives? The answer: Rise From the Ashes and Come Out! 

10:35-11:20 a.m.

Concurrent Breakout Sessions

#1 ― Knowing Your Color: Personality Styles

Holly Craider, Ph.D., Executive Director, Curriculum Development and Assessment

#2 ― Student Panel: The Balancing Act

#3 ― Shatter the Glass: Make Your Move to Management Leadership

Robin Kelly, Ph.D., Assistant Professor, Marketing, Western

Is there still a “glass ceiling” that hinders you from advancing in your career? How does it manifest itself in the workplace? And what can you do to push beyond this invisible barrier? We’ll talk about specific, practical strategies that will help you reach your career potential despite the glass ceiling challenge.

11:30 a.m. – 1 p.m.
