REGISTER NOW TO SECURE YOUR SPOT! Curious to learn how TOP women in academia / industry have navigated identity- based challenges and achieved success in their field?  Catered Dinner, Fall-themed desserts & Prize Drawing Included (one of which happens to be an Amazon Echo Dot)?...

The CWIT Student Council in collaboration with SWE, WiCyS, ISSA, GSA, BSA, ASA and NSBE will be hosting a Professional Development Workshop & Panel Discussion on November 10th in the Commons Skylight Room.

The workshop portion features two guest speakers both: a career coach and a career strategist who will focus on Confidence, Joy and Balance in career and professional development. The duo are co-founders of the startup Taking it Pro, that helps women achieve career and professional success by providing quality professional tools and resources, career guidance, and an alliance of remarkable women.

Our panel portion will include stories and questions posed to our four (4) remarkable panelists (see event post) who will share how they were able to navigate challenges including imposter syndrome, toxic work environments and advance in their careers while working in fields where they were underrepresented minorities.

In addition to being able to ask their burning questions about navigating the behind-the-scenes of internships / jobs, attendees will be entered into a raffle for prizes such as signed copies of the speakers’ book “W.I.S.E. Rebel Moves”.

Shriver Center Interim Director and Choice Program Director Eric Ford is quoted in an article about community-based efforts to support (adult) returning citizens in the Baltimore region. Most of the article is about Helping Oppressed People Excel H.O.P.E. and Freedom. Advocates. Celebrating. Ex-offenders. F.A.C.E. Choice is mentioned as a program for youth. Eric spoke with the reporter at length about The Choice Program's youth-centeredness and narrative change. 

It's an important piece in that it shines a light on H.O.P.E. and F.A.C.E. It is also important that we are seen as one effort in part of the larger system to reform the youth and adult legal systems.  

Take a look to see what made the article.
