One of the biggest issues that women face is self-doubt and lack of confidence. We undermine ourselves:
we think we’re under-qualified so we don’t apply to a position, we sit at the edge of a room, we end
sentences in questions and use verbal crutches. Given recent events, gender equality issues must
continued to be addressed and fought for.
This event is aimed at inspiring, empowering, and encouraging young students at the University of
Michigan through the stories and mentorship of successful women speakers. The summit will also give
concrete leadership lessons to attendees. Attendees will have the chance to discuss and network with
each other through small group breakout sessions. We hope that attendees will gain a sense of
confidence and self-belief, and be empowered to achieve whatever they set their mind to, whether it’s
raising their hand in class or negotiating a higher salary.
