Happening Today: Women in Leadership Panel

The Career Center and Alpha Phi Omega are co-sponsoring a Women in Leadership panel from 6 to 8 p.m. on Thursday, Nov. 30, in Bloomberg 272. The panel features Jeannine Heynes, Hopkins’ director of women and gender resources at Johns Hopkins. Another panelist, Karen Fleming, is a biophysicist and advocated for the Women of Hopkins exhibit at the Mattin Center. The final panelist, Illysa Izenberg, has more than two decades of business experience and received the 2016 JHU Alumni Association Excellence in Teaching Award.

The Q&A discussion focuses on the gender climate of the professional workplace, from the point of view of the panelists, who work in business, STEM, and gender equity fields.

Where We Stand: Women at Hopkins 2017

The Committee on the Status of Women will host their annual “Where We Stand: Women at Hopkins” event this Wednesday, November 15, at 5:30pm in the Mudd Atrium.

The goal is to bring together faculty, staff, and students who are concerned about gender equity at Hopkins.

There will be good food and good company, and you are welcome to bring children along (we’ll have toys and coloring pages there).

Dean Beverly Wendland will kick off the evening. This year, we are following up on the report card we wrote, at her request, last year on the Vision 2020 report (published in 2006).

At the event, we invite you to share ideas for concrete, incremental steps we can take along the way to meeting the goals summarized in the report card.
