Thank You to Women's Forum Attendees

Thank you to all who took time to attend the first Staff Women's Forum on April 11th. We appreciate all of the feedback we've received and we hope to make this event a regular occurance, offering a selection of presentations, classes, and discussions for UVM's female-identified staff.

Stay tuned for the announcement of the next Forum, likely in fall 2017 - and let us know if you have ideas for other ways Staff Council can support female-identified staff here at UVM.
