Carve out an hour for lunch and inspiration during the fall and spring sessions of the Stepping Stones of Women in Leadership series.

Fewer women than men advance to higher ranks in academic medicine and health research, so Indiana University School of Medicine Faculty Affairs and Professional Development designed this series to highlight some of the successful women among us. Each guest will share details of her career journey, shedding light on the highlights and the challenges she has experienced — and overcome.

Block your calendar now, and register for an hour (or four) of inspiration! Each session is held from noon to 1 p.m. ET via Zoom.
