Reviews

“I really enjoyed my experience at the Women’s Leadership Success in Higher Education Conference! Each session felt useful and I walked away feeling energized, inspired, and motivated. The facilitators brought unique and diverse perspectives on topics that were relevant to my work and the sector. I would recommend this conference to everyone!” – Alysha Johnson Williams, Director of Pathways to Practice, Harvard University

“Attending this conference was life-transforming. I would recommend that all women in leadership attend. You deserve to be seen and uplifted.” – Keyanna Hawkins, Coordinator of Equity Advancement, Germanna Community College

“I left the conference feeling re-energized and returned to my institution with a refreshed attitude and perspective as a woman in higher education.” – Clytrice Watson, Associate Provost, Delaware State University

“I left this conference inspired and with a list of actionable insights.” – Becca Griffin, Director of Academic Communications, Sam Houston State University

“I enjoyed the ability to meet with other women in all areas of higher-education. Usually I attend conferences specific to my field, but this allowed me to learn about other areas of the higher-ed landscape. The speakers were intellectual and dynamic, the attendees were engaged and diverse. It was such a good experience that I am looking at way to sponsor additional attendees from our university to the next offering.” – Kim Tavares, Associate Vice President Alumni Relations, Miami University (OH)

“If you are stuck at a crossroad in your career and are looking for direction this is the perfect antidote to help you realize you need to (and can) take action; whether it is to change the rules or move on.” – Maria J. Delgado, Executive Director, Space Planning Columbia University Irving Medical Center

“I have been inspired, affirmed and uplifted by the strength, insight and voice that these women panelists shared with us. Where I once questioned if I had reached the end of my career, I now feel recharged to look further at what is possible and how I can continue growing in my leadership!” – Diana Mejia, Assistant Vice President Campus Operations/Housing Services, Columbia University Irving Medical Center
