HERstory of the Conference:

The Women’s Center received a 2017-2018 Campus Action Project grant from the American Association of University Women to launch a project titled “Titan LeadHERship: Inspiration to Action.” The premise of the grant was to work towards closing the gender leadership gap in “pink collar” fields. Research shows that while the workforce is dominated by women, leadership roles within these fields continue to be held by men. In addition to a photo exhibit of Titan LeadHERs from across campus, the grant and additional support from Reeve Union and AAUW-Oshkosh also funded a day-long workshop. Workshop content included a welcome from Chancellor Leavitt and Vice Chancellor Green, breakout sessions with local female-identified leaders in pink collar industries, networking strategies, panel of past National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) attendees, inclusive leadership, professional communication, and LeadHERship goal setting.
