WMU Women invited to Nov. 7 event hosted by MI-ACE

WMU staff and faculty are invited to attend the MI-ACE Women’s Network Kalamazoo Chapter event, "Women of Influence," on Thursday, Nov. 7, from 3:30 to 5 p.m. at the Texas Township Campus of Kalamazoo Valley Community College in Room 4240.  The event is co-sponsored by WMU, KVCC and Kalamazoo College. It will feature a panel of three distinguished female leaders from each institution, each of whom has made significant contributions to the field of higher education, including:

• Candy McCorkle, Ph.D., VP for Diversity and Inclusion, Office of Diversity and Inclusion, WMU
• Karen T. Isble, VP for College Advancement, Kalamazoo College 
• Paige Eagan, Ph.D., Provost and VP for Instruction and Student Services, KVCC

The three women will share their career journeys, discussing the pivotal moments that shaped their careers and insights into the unique challenges and triumphs they have faced. The discussion will focus on how these influential women can inspire and empower the next generation of female leaders in academia.

In addition to the panel discussion, the free event will include light refreshments and will provide ample time for networking, allowing participants to connect with peers from all three institutions. Event parking is free (no parking permit or registration required). Park at the main entrance near the flagpoles and look for event signage.
