Named for the popular Duke Women's Studies course called Money, Sex & Power, this weekend provides an opportunity for women – and men – to explore issues of women and power. In a keynote speech, breakout workshops, informal conversations and networking sessions, participants will consider what it means to be a powerful woman by way of three tracks:
1. Finding your personal power: identifying and developing your power through skill-based and practical workshops
2. Developing the power of connections: exploring how women share, care, support, and connect with their families, friends and larger communities
3. Exercising power in the world: focusing on the opportunities and challenges of women's power
Throughout the weekend, student attendees will connect with Duke women from different generations to empower each other and to discuss the big questions facing women today. The conference will highlight groundbreaking work at Duke, build practical skills that you can apply to your life, and stimulate intellectual conversation about how women relate to, are affected by, and exercise various forms of power. Applying to attend the Alumnae Weekend is a two-part process for students. First, please complete the online registration form to let us know which events you would like to attend, http://events.duke.edu/DinDepthStudent10. Second, in order to be considered for the weekend you must also submit a short paragraph to networking@daa.duke.edu stating why you think you should have the opportunity to attend the conference.
