First-year PAFs Kelsey Johnston, Ashlynn Profit, and Yuxuan Shen had the great privilege of attending the annual Women’s Leadership Conference, “Charting a New Course,” sponsored by the Women’s Leadership Program on the Mount Vernon Campus. With sessions devoted to personal finance, self-care, and marketing for business, there was a wide array of topics and speakers to choose from. In addition, professional women from GW and the DC area shared their expertise and the challenges they have faced, and overcome, in their careers.
The PAF Professional and Academic Development Fund provided financial support to cover the Women’s Leadership Conference registration fees for Kelsey, Ashlynn, Yuxuan as an opportunity to further their professional development.
