Frequently Asked Questions

Who should attend Women’s Leadership Workshop?

The workshop aims to provide attendees with tangible leadership skills as well as to demonstrate the role that an MBA can play in furthering one’s professional goals.

The 2017 Women’s Leadership Workshop will take place at Kellogg's Global Hub on Friday, May 19, 2017 and the Allen Center on Saturday, May 20, 2017.

Go to this conference! The quality of the presentations and participants is extremely high. I loved how engaging the professors were! You could tell how passionate they were about their subjects. Great way to meet women at similar stages in their careers/leadership journeys. I've learned so much about myself and have gone home with tools and techniques to continue to learn about and empower the leader in me.
