2022 Cohort Announcement
August 17, 2022
With the successful kick-off of Cardinal Women* on August 16th we would like to announce that 61 individuals have been selected to participate in the fifth cohort of this personal and professional leadership development program specifically for women* who are faculty and staff at Iowa State University.
These 61 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 110 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.
