Encouraging Different Pathways to Success: Luncheon and Networking Opportunities at Western Washington University
This past spring, KWMIL and the Bellingham chapter of AAUW co-hosted Encouraging Different Pathways to Success, a brown bag luncheon and networking opportunity in the Old Main Solarium on the Western campus. This luncheon provided women the opportunity to network and support each other in the development of their professional careers and personal lives. In addition to building community, the group brainstormed ways that AAUW and KWMIL can continue to support career development for early faculty, women, and underrepresented groups at Western. See the results of their brainstorming efforts.
