2021 Cohort Announcement
August 24, 2021
With the successful kick-off of Cardinal Women* on August 17th
we would like to announce that 52 individuals have been selected to
participate in the fourth cohort of this personal and professional
leadership development program specifically for women* who are faculty
and staff at Iowa State University.
These 52 women*, along with 10 small group leaders, will engage in five two hour 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 78 applications
received for this year’s program. Cardinal Women* was developed and is
being led by Tera Lawson, Procurement Services, and Dr. Denise
Williams-Klotz, Office of Multicultural Student Affairs.
