Meeting Minutes 2/23/11: Women in the Workplace

We hosted a panel in the Women's Center called "Women in the Workplace: Professional Women Discussing the Keys to Success at Work." The presentation was part of the Empowering Women of Ohio Week panel discussion.

Our speakers included:

• Dr. Eddith Dashiell, our AWC adviser and Assistant Dean of the Scripps College of Communications
• Dr. Christine Gidycz, a psychology professor and researcher
• Aimee Edmonson, a journalism professor
• Rebecca Mercado Thorton, a graduate student in communications studies

The speakers shared their personal work experiences with us. They gave us tips on how to handle harassment at work and how to negotiate salaries and benefits. The discussion helped us feel more prepared for the working world.
