You can't be what you can't see, and that's why so many girls and women grow up without role models or leaders who accurately represent them.

Join Kate Kiama (Director of Programs, She's the First) and Adrianne Wright (Founder, I Will Not Be Quiet) for a discussion on the importance of fostering leadership and learn how to take action on this issue right now. Plus, Stephanie Kaplan (Co-Founder, Her Campus) will join us to discuss the Elect Her initiative to train female students to run for campus office.
