Brock University\u2019s Women in Leadership (WIL) group wants to continue conversations on campus that began at a national conference earlier this year.<\/p>\n
The University was well represented at the virtual Senior Women Academic Administrators of Canada (SWAAC) conference in May. Brock\u2019s next Women in Leadership meeting, held online Wednesday, July 28 from 1 to 2 p.m., aims to carry on the conference discussions, while also introducing those who were unable to attend to the key takeaways.<\/p>\n
The group will also discuss how some calls to action inspired by the conference can be implemented at Brock.<\/p>\n
