2018 Cohort Announcement
August 10, 2018
With the successful kick-off of Cardinal Women on August 8th we would like to announce that 72 individuals have been selected to participate in this personal and professional leadership development program specifically for women* who are faculty and professional and scientific staff at Iowa State University.
These 72 women* along with 8 small group leaders will engage in four two hour face-to-face sessions this fall, participate in large and small group discussions, and continue the conversation between sessions via Canvas. Program topics include identifying and silencing the inner critic, discovering and utilizing your inner mentor, communication style strategies, approaches to negotiation, and how to support and affirm those who identify as women in our community.
This program is being offered at no cost to participants and these women* were selected from the 138 applications received for the program. Cardinal Women was developed and is being led by Tera Lawson, Center for Technology in Learning and Teaching, and Dr. Denise Williams-Klotz, Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.
