Women Breaking Boundaries: Latina Leaders

You are invited to our upcoming Spring 2017 Speaker Series “Women Breaking Boundaries” at CSUSM.

We believe this event will be extremely impactful to those who attend—specifically our students. At CSUSM, 2016 statistics show that 6,989 of our undergraduate students are women (out of 11,555 total). And, 48.5% of our first-year students are Hispanic/Latino/a.
 
This distinguished Speaker Series entitled, “Women Breaking Boundaries” was established by CSUSM President Karen Haynes during a meeting with University Council members Rita Brandin (Senior Vice President, Development Director at Newland Communities) and Linda Bailey (President of Community Strategies Group). Together, they felt it would be powerful for students to hear from women who hold a non-traditional role to gain an understanding of how those women got to where they are today. Our very first “Women Breaking Boundaries” Speaker Series took place last semester on October 11, 2016 which featured women Elected Officials.
