March 2020 Newsletter

Colleagues,

We, at the Utah Women & Leadership Project (UWLP), have a number of announcements for March:

First, our last Women’s Leadership Forum of this academic year will be a free panel discussion on "The Gender Wage Gap: Digging Deep into Understanding The Complexity" (March 24, 3:30-5:00pm) with panelists Katie Hudman, Carrie Mayne, and Erin Jemison. This will live stream as well. I hope you’ll be able to join us.

Second, we have a few new resources available this month. Check out all our “What Can I Do?" idea sheets here. We are releasing a new one titled "What Therapists Can Do to Strengthen the Impact of Utah Girls and Women."
