In 2022, we took time to learn how to influence and inspire at The She Leads Symposium @ WashU with in-depth, relevant insights on how we live, learn, and influence in our new world today.
On October 21, 2022 we connected both in-person and online for a half day of discussions with eminent WashU faculty, administrators, and alumni, joined by a variety of distinguished experts in their fields. Relive the highlights below.
The She Leads Symposium @WashU is sponsored by The Spencer T. and Ann W. Olin Fellowship.
“She Leads was phenomenal. Not only was I able to connect with people outside of my department, but hearing from leaders in the community was very inspiring. Hearing from WashU students and they work they are doing was also very inspiring and makes me hopeful for the future with them out there leading.”
