As the first round of programming for the newly launched sheLEADS series comes to a close tonight, I am excited, yet very aware that we have a long way to go when it comes to gender equality. With women still getting paid only 77 cents to every man’s dollar (even less for women of color and Latino women) and still serving as the primary caregivers for their families, it is difficult for any “princess” to even imagine climbing to the top of the corporate ladder; and if/when she finally gets there, knowing that she’s paid and respected equally to her would-be male counterpart.
In the spirit of Women’s History month, join Career Development tonight from 5-7PM in 202 Stearns for the She Takes the Lead, Perspectives from Successful Career Women, to hear from a panel of 4 amazing women who have made an impact in their respective industries as leaders and game changers. A reception will follow.
