Program Description
A yearlong leadership training program for students that culminates in a two-day spring conference. The program raises issues related to women's education and employment and provides research, resources, and models for change. The annual two-day forum brings together women and men of differing ages and multicultural backgrounds to examine and discuss topics of national interest. The symposium is a product of a year's work by joint committees of students, faculty, and community leaders. The program features nationally recognized speakers as well as topical seminars and workshops conducted by students, community leaders, and SMU faculty and staff.
