Why we must highlight the successes of women in higher education through the media -  and how to do it

a BlueSky Education Masterclass

Agenda

‘You can't be what you can't see’

International Women’s Day provides us with one day a year to shine a spotlight on the accomplishments and contributions of women in our business schools and universities.

But why limit ourselves to only doing this once a year?

It’s been proven that diversity brings prosperity. We want to encourage business schools and universities, as the institutions which set the standard of business and society for the future, to go beyond celebrating the achievements of women across the globe on just one dedicated day a year, and make such efforts a conscious part of their everyday communications.

How? By consistently highlighting the successes of the women in higher and business education, throughout the year, and beyond academic circles.

Sharing the diverse and talented voices within your institution all year round can help to:

  • Boost student application
  • Enhance staff hiring & satisfaction
  • Support positive reputation building 
  • Better connect your institution to industry, society, and build new partnerships

 

During our free webinar, hosted by Stephanie Mullins and Kerry Ruffle, we will show you how to utilise the wealth of female expertise within your own institutions; from inspirational research to entrepreneurial vision, student initiative and alumni mentorship. Reaching audiences that matter and providing a stellar example for others to follow.

Together, we can play a bigger part in ensuring future generations of women have inspirational role models to guide them, career roadmaps to follow, and the resilience and conviction needed to achieve their goals.
