Building the Future: A Case for Supporting the SDSU Women in Leadership Initiative
You Can Empower the Next Generation of Female Leaders
What started eight years ago as a popular one-day conference is expanding into a comprehensive full year program.
An ongoing series of seminars will delve into essential leadership topics such as conquering imposter syndrome, setting goals, and financial literacy. Networking events will provide opportunities to connect with peers and industry professionals, fostering a strong support network. The program will culminate in the signature Women in Leadership Conference, featuring inspiring speakers – accomplished alumnae and prominent female leaders – who will share their journeys and insights.
Students will be actively involved in planning and executing all events, putting their developing skills into action. This approach ensures students not only gain knowledge but also practical experience that will help them become confident and effective leaders.
