The panelists are:

  • Moderator: Janice Fine, Professor, School of Management and Labor Relations, Rutgers University

  • Patricia Campos-Medina, Executive Director of the Worker Institute at Cornell University

Based at the Bloustein School but open to all Rutgers graduate students the Women’s Leadership Coalition (WLC)’s mission is to foster networking, collaboration, and career-driven educational opportunities for women and gender non-conforming people in graduate programs across Rutgers University.

Though the organization is geared toward female graduate students, any Rutgers student or faculty member with an interest in the organization’s mission may become a member.
