PROGRAMS
Shine: Multiplying Women’s Empowerment, Friendship, and Collaboration
Keynote | Workshop | Virtual | Retreat
Women are taught to compete; compete for opportunities, acknowledgement, and space. Many efforts at women’s empowerment stop only at the competition.
What’s beyond it, though?
Abby Conway has an answer—instead of focusing on competing with one another, we should focus on how brightly we can shine together. In this signature program, a fresh take on developing powerful relationships, she shares how we can nurture our own light while simultaneously multiplying that of other women. In our organizations, leadership positions, and life beyond campus, the path to the future will be illuminated by the light we will produce together.

If Everyone is “Fine” - Then What’s Wrong With Me?
Keynote | Workshop | Virtual
Have you ever wondered how we became a society of “fine”? When did the “Feeling Train” get so far off the track? How did we all become conditioned to be “fine” 24-hours a day, 7-days a week and, more importantly, can we get the Train back on track?
The good news, the research suggests it’s possible. The even better news, it might not be as hard as we think.
This program will allow students to better understand both anxiety and depression and how those mental health challenges might show up in their friends and classmates. Attendees will then be led through a guided discovery period to identify their beliefs and assumptions about “feelings” and craft ways they can lead with feelings both in the classroom and in life.
Join Archie Messersmith-Bunting as we discuss the science behind your feelings, discover new ways to express what you’re feeling, and learn all important questions to ask when you are worried someone in your life might not be “fine”.
