Now in its 28th year, the UMW Women’s Leadership Colloquium provides an opportunity for career-minded women to connect with peers, hear from nationally recognized thought leaders, attend sessions geared to promoting success on the job and get inspired about the marks they are making in their professions. This year, best-selling author Fran Hauser, dedicated to leveling the playing field for women in the workplace, will deliver the keynote address. The event takes place Thursday, Nov. 3, from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., at UMW’s Stafford Campus.
