Eastern Michigan University is hosting a Women in Leadership Panel as part of Women's History Month

Women in leadership panel to showcase many Eastern Michigan University alumni.

Eastern Michigan University’s Women’s Resource Center, along with the University Career and Academic Development Center, is hosting a Women's Leadership Panel on March 13 from 6 p.m. to 7 p.m. in Student Center room 310 AB.

The event is taking place in honor of Women’s History Month, which originated in 1987. Previously, starting in 1909, women’s history was celebrated for just a single day.

The Women in Leadership panel will feature seven women in well-established careers, many of which are EMU alumna.

The following speakers will be present at the event:

  • Co-Executive Director of Design Core Kiana Wenzell
  • Chief of State to Senator Sarah Anthony Jenita Moore
  • EMU Interim Chief Diversity Officer Dr. Doris Fields
  • Director of K-12 STEM Outreach Dr. Bia Hamed
