INSPIRE: Empowering Texas Women Leaders

INSPIRE
Inspire students will be engaged at a personal level by addressing goal setting, hands-on experiences, and observation through the following experiences:
Seminars and Conferences:
Inspire students will attend a conference each year. Choices range from:
Texas Diversity and Leadership Conference -The purpose of this three-day conference is to give attendees an opportunity to explore tools and resources to transform diversity awareness into actionable results – and equip them with essential skills to contribute to your organization’s goals.
National Conference for College Women Student Leaders- Attendees will participate in workshops focusing on advocacy, leadership, health and wellness, and “real-world” issues such as
financial literacy and life after college.
Texas Women's Conference - The largest women's conference in the state with more than 6,000 attendees, offers community and connection, information and inspiration, motivation and momentum
Become the Mentor:
During the last year i the program, students will become mentors to UT freshman or high school seniors.
Internships:
Intern at a nonprofit (or other approved) organization.
Speaker Series:
Host speakers from non-profit, government, and business sectors on a quarterly basis that will benefit the students, the University and Austin community.
Community Service / Volunteer Work:
