Emily Campagna represented IC at the national Elect Her workshop, a program designed to encourage young women to run for office on campus and in the community.

Michele Lenhart, Director of Student Leadership and Involvement, presented an educational session on the Centered Leadership Model, which is based on the skills, values, and behaviors of successful women leaders in a variety of professions.

Travel to this conference was funded in part by a grant from President Emerita Peggy Ryan Williams, to promote women’s leadership development. The Ithaca College attendees were among 1000 students selected to attend the conference from colleges and universities across the United States and two other countries.
