AdvanceVT/Women's Center Leadership Lunch
Monday, October 28, 2024
Program has reached capacity and registration is now closed

AdvanceVT, the Women’s Center, and VT Women Connect will host the Virginia Tech Women’s Caucus to talk about their mission and goals, as well as offices and organizations at the university dedicated to supporting women faculty and staff. The event will include an opportunity to engage in meaningful conversations about issues – both new and ongoing – impacting our work and wellbeing.

The leadership lunch series was launched by AdvanceVT in the early 2000s to support and uplift women in faculty positions, and has grown over the years to include all professional women at the university in leadership positions or aspiring leaders.
