Panel discussion with a group of Higher Education women (and one non-binary panelist) striving to empower, encourage, entertain and educate. We'll talk about the importance of mentors and sponsors, excelling in traditionally male-centric careers, work/life balance (is it even possible?), and how you can actively engage professionally, personally and civically - to help change our world. Come ready to be a part of the discussion! Your voice matters. Panelists: Rachel Cherry, Georgy Cohen, Lacy Paschal, Anne Peterson, Robin Smail.
