The “Leading Women” series, sponsored by the CUNY Diversity Project Development Fund, is intended to create a pipeline for young student leaders by providing a forum where diverse women leaders in civics, community services, education, and business can come together to mentor and provide diverse CUNY women students with an opportunity to hear about career trajectories, challenges faced and overcome, and what leadership in the context of their gender, ethnic community, religious and other affinities means.
This summer conference hopes to facilitate a collaborative dialogue around how we can plan and realistically achieve our long-term goals and dreams. As people with busy lives, we often find that we do not have enough time to sit and reflect on our future. This conference provides student participants a space to reflect and discuss their personal goals and career ambitions, while strategizing adaptable practices that can help them work towards those goals. Some questions to be explored are: What do our dreams look like? How can we realistically and pragmatically achieve them? How do we navigate familial and cultural expectations while still exercising our own agency?
