The CSW 2024 Symposium held on Wednesday, April 10th was a resounding success! We were thrilled to welcome a lineup of amazing speakers who delved into the theme of "A Woman's Worth" with passion and insight.
The symposium explored the intersectionality and inclusion of a woman's worth in various aspects of life, including academia, at home, in the United States, and around the world.
This free event provided an invaluable opportunity for professional development and networking, and was open to anyone on the University of Arizona campus. Thank you to all who attended and contributed to this important conversation. Stay tuned for more events and discussions on gender equality and women's empowerment in the future!
