Celebrating Women in Traditionally Male-Dominated Professions
As part of Women’s Week, we are organizing a small panel discussion to highlight and give visibility to women working in professions that have traditionally been male-dominated.
We kindly ask you to think of your students and encourage those who fit this profile to participate.
The panel will take place on Thursday, March 11 at 6:00 PM.
Each participant will prepare a presentation featuring 20 photos, which they will present in 6 minutes. After the presentations, we will open a brief Q&A session with the audience.
The goal of this event is to create a space where participants can share their experiences, reflect on their professional journeys, and speak about the challenges they have faced along the way.
By showcasing their stories, we hope to inspire others and continue building a more inclusive and diverse professional landscape.
If interested, tell me and I will provide you with the contact.
Thank you very much!

Dear readers,
The deaths of Alex Pretti and Renee Good, shot by federal agents in Minneapolis, have accelerated a legislative offensive in Democratic-led states to demand accountability for violations of constitutional rights.
