Women's Center
The Women’s Leadership Symposium and Celebration
Includes free luncheon, Mary Pierce Brosner as keynote speaker, Women’s Leadership Awards Ceremony, and Leadership Dialogues (following luncheon) at 11:00 a.m. on March in the Shriver Multipurpose Room.
The mission of the Women’s Leadership Symposium and Celebration is to celebrate both the relational and individual strength of women. This event invites all members of the Miami community, including students, staff, and faculty, to celebrate female empowerment. Through finding connection with others, this endeavor facilitates appreciation for the historical and contemporary struggle of women. The Women’s Leadership Celebration gathers to remember the journey of women, commemorate notable women from our past, honor today’s heroines, and inspire hope for tomorrow’s leaders.
Within this celebratory event, the Women’s Leadership Awards are bestowed to those who have been distinguished by their respective communities and organizations as advocates for equality and models of leadership. The recipients of this honor are characterized by their achievements of perseverance and courage. Through their personal and professional commitments, these women have challenged societal norms, expectations, and the limitations of gender roles. The award and ceremony also includes a male ally award, presented for the first time in 2007. Take time to nominate your fellow student, colleague, or faculty member.
Thank you for celebrating the accomplishments of women on Miami’s campus!
