Young Women Explore Careers
CAMKit™ Programs are effective, successful young women’s career exploration programs, custom-designed for your organization. CAMKit workshop leaders engage participants in creative, hands-on activities to encourage them to learn about a host of potential career paths. Because young women need to know that other women are in fields that are unfamiliar to them, mentoring is an essential element of this program. Participants explore careers through the real-life stories of resilient women from diverse ethnic and socio-economic backgrounds successfully working in their chosen fields. Women of Color: SCSU's 19th Women's Studies Conference. Southern Connecticut State University's Women's Studies Department held its 19th Women's Studies Conference on Friday, April 15, and Saturday, April 16, 2010, in West New Haven, CT. On Saturday CAMKit staff took the earliest train from South Station (destination Florida) and arrived about 9:30 AM at the university's beautiful campus. After giving our workshop at 11 AM, we found many rewarding things to do at this special event--so many wonderful workshops, panel discussions, speakers, and performances, that it was difficult to choose. During a delicious vegan lunch, we sat with some of the speakers and panelists. For information about the Women Studies Program and annual conference at SCSU, you can contact Dr. Yi-Chun Tricia Lin, its gracious and energetic director, at (203) 392-6133. SCSU's Women's Studies Program will present its 8th Annual Women's Studies Graduate Conference on its campus on Saturday, October 30, 2010. The topic is "Trafficking Humans: An Interdisciplinary Approach Addressing Sex and Labor Exploitation." See the Women's Studies Program's webpage for the invitation for proposals on interdisciplinary scholarly and creative work. Contact Us!
