Be part of the 12th Annual IC Women Leaders Series!

By Mish Lenhart, January 8, 2024

The IC community is invited to collaborate with us for the 2024 Women Leaders Series!

The Office of Student Engagement will be sponsoring the 12th Annual Women Leaders Series (WLS) at Ithaca College in March 2024. The WLS is a set of presentations, performances, or programs for students to attend, all focused on the topic of women and leadership.

Would you be interested in presenting a 45–60-minute workshop on any topic related to women and leadership? Or do you already have a program planned for March that might be a good fit in this series and we could collaborate? You can check out what was done for the 2023 Women Leaders Series if you need some inspiration! 

We are accepting proposals for any event that your organization or department is planning to host, or for new workshops that you would like to present. The 12th Annual Women Leaders Series offers personal and professional development programs designed to enhance opportunities for college women student leaders. All programs offered in this annual series are free to all current Ithaca College students.

The 2024 WLS will run from Friday, March 1 through Sunday, March 31. Please note that spring break is March 9-17. Proposals are due by Wednesday, January 31, so that we can begin the marketing campaign in early February. You can find the simple proposal form here: https://ithaca.campuslabs.com/engage/submitter/form/start/617658

The 2024 WLS theme is "Women Living Well" to reflect the importance of these concepts internally for personal wellness (Relaxation techniques, practicing self-compassion, etc.) and externally for professional growth (navigating conflict, showing appreciation as a leader, etc.). Our hope is that presenters will be creative in developing a program connected to this theme. Sample topics include: Mental Wellness in the Performing Arts/STEM/other fields; Cultivating Self-Compassion; Doing well in your career journey.

If you have any questions about the series or how you might be a collaborator, please reach out to the WLS planning team at ose@ithaca.edu or 607-274-3222.
