Allen to keynote women’s symposium
The website for the women’s symposium, free to faculty and staff across the system, has more information on the event, which this year is themed “Opening Doors: Navigating Your Professional Journey.” Allen will speak on “Setting Your Stride for an Empowered Career Path.”
Registration will begin Oct. 25 at the website.
The Faculty Council Women’s Committee continues to solicit proposals for symposium, which runs 4 p.m. Feb. 21 through 4 p.m. Feb. 22 at the University of Colorado Boulder’s University Memorial Center.
The committee welcomes proposals for workshops, roundtables, book discussions, panels, and other interactive and innovative formats focused on the theme for the Friday sessions. Proposals should address the interests and concerns of CU women faculty and staff and can also address broader educational/professional-development issues related to women in academia and beyond.
