Women In Leadership - Week 6

We had 5 guest speakers this week, Ryan, Nicole, an African American Lady, A German lady and Robin. Ryan came in and spoke about jobs and openings once we are all done graduating from college. Nicole spoke to us about how she specializes in Child Psychology and few other stuff. Her expertise is in Alcohol and Drug Prevention. The African American Lady whose name I did not catch is a Business Administration Major. She volunteers for an Arts Organisation. She works in the Non - Profit sector. She took courses in non - profit management. She moved to Indianapolis and got a job related to Community Development. She went to Africa and was exposed to a lot of sadness and pain that people there were going through. She worked 10 years with the Columbus Foundation. The German Lady whose name again I did not catch spoke to us about how many job vacancies are there for those of us who are interested in non - profit organisations. Robin started her working career at Wendy's. When she left it, she was offered the post as Dave Thomas's Secretary. She came to Otterbein in 1999 to complete her degree. In 2002 she got a job as Senior Director Corporate Relations. She just told us to; Love what you do, and do what you love. President Krendl then took over. The speeches at this weeks session were short as we gave our oral presentations afterwards. The oral presentations were all extremely good, I thought and I got through mine without passing out, so thumbs up. Well that's about it for this week's Women In Leadership and next week we don't have class as it's Fall Break.. Awesome!!
