Attendee Comments“I can't imagine us having the discussions we had if males were present. It wasn't that our conversation was female-centric (there was only one topic of discussion relating to gender), but the atmosphere was just extremely supportive and warm. "
“I felt like I really got to create personal connection with these women by having such a small and close-knit discussion. These are women that I wouldn't have had access to otherwise and it was great to hear advice from the "real world" perspective.”
“I really enjoyed the willingness of alumni to be so honest and open regarding touchy issues such as work and family balance, being a woman in the workplace, etc., was something extremely helpful and something I have never heard elsewhere.”
“It was helpful to hear comments that contradicted each other from different alumnae, and I realized that different professions and environments could create distinct experiences.”
“Meeting such open, friendly, and successful alumnae reduced my trepidation about my future after graduation - they faced similar uncertainties and ultimately found fascinating occupations and accomplished great things along the way.” "Some of the younger alums' stories were very relevant to my own job search, while advice from older alums about career satisfaction eased my mind about being unsure of what to do." "The informal homey atmosphere was very conducive to real conversation. Alumnae
and students felt free to give honest and direct responses to various career and
lifetime experience concerns."
