Please join the GWC, the Office of Diversity and Community Engagement, Mary Kay, Inc., Texas Instruments, and Marsha Clark for our latest networking event - "Women Don't Ask - How We Give Away Our Power", on Wednesday, June 5, 2013. You don't want to miss this informative presentation and discussion about learning to ask for what we want and to negotiate in order to get it; it is an important strategy and skill for women to master.

Learn the following:
  • Create awareness about:
    • Women's patterns in negotiations
    • What works for women in negotiations
    • What works against women in negotiations
  • To understand our own experience in negotiations
  • To learn some new skills and tools for negotiating more effectively... for relevant application

The event is open to students, faculty, staff, community members, and industry professionals. The event will be held from 5:00 P.M. to 8:00 P.M. Dinner will be provided.
