A Leadership Empowerment Seminar for women faculty and staff is scheduled for October 20, 2008, 10 a.m.-3 p.m. The Seminar serves as a part of the University’s continued efforts to comply with and support the positive values of equal opportunity set forth in Title IX and is offered to demonstrate the University’s commitment to women on campus.
The focus of the seminar is to give women faculty and staff the knowledge and communication skills to empower them in their daily work and career development. Women will learn to communicate effectively and assertively in small groups and in public settings, to engage in active listening that will allow them to negotiate and to influence others, to plan and to present goals and ideas to enact the University’s mission, to network, and to mentor other women and junior colleagues. These skills will empower women in navigating their professional lives and career activities.
This empowerment seminar will be facilitated by one of the nation’s most renowned Organizational Communication scholars with a specialty in diversity, mentoring, and empowerment in organizations. Brenda J. Allen (Ph.D., Howard University), is an Associate Dean in the College of Liberal Arts and Sciences, and a Professor in the Department of Communication at the University of Colorado Denver (UCD).
The Leadership Empowerment Seminar for Female Faculty and Staff will take place October 20, 10 a.m.-3 p.m, St. Robert Auditorium. The event is open to up to 40 participants—20 staff members and 20 faculty members. Registration will be on a first-come, first-serve basis and will be conducted electronically. Not only will LMU women be able to participate in a workshop that would normally cost several hundred dollars per person, but they will be able to participate without missing a full day of work.
