Women in Leadership Forum

I am the Director of Internal Relations for the Bob Graham Center Student Fellows and I am currently helping plan the Women in Leadership Forum. I believe the Women in Leadership Forum will be a fantastic opportunity for pre-health students to meet female leaders from a variety of fields including Candice King, the executive director of ACORN clinic.

Here's the blurb we've been circulating along with the RSVP form:

The University of Florida's Bob Graham Center for Public Service, the Women's Student Association and the UF Student Government Women's Affairs Cabinet are hosting a Women in Leadership Forum on October 4 from 6 p.m. to 8:30 p.m. in Pugh Hall. The aim of the forum is to connect growing student leaders with proven university, local and national leaders. 

Esteemed speakers include Dr. Susan MacManus, Representative Porter, and Judge Denise Ferrero.

Following the speakers, there will be a networking event with University of Florida faculty and other Gainesville leaders including Candice King from the ACORN clinic. 

Light refreshments will be served.
