Otterbein University will bring regional and national leaders together with students, educators and community partners on Friday and Saturday, March 9-10, at Otterbein's Westerville campus to discuss the role of higher education in ensuring future opportunities for women. Otterbein will create a collaborative space where participants will share, imagine, and build pathways for women's social, political, and economic mobility. These discussions will culminate in a strategic action plan for higher education and community partners. The plan will be presented at a Town Hall meeting, hosted by MSNBC anchor Chris Jansing.

Participants can choose between five tracks: raising awareness of institutional and structural obstacles facing women; developing new strategies in higher education that support the flourishing of women and girls; cultivating meaningful community partnerships that help create more communities of opportunity; training a new generation to become change agents in their own communities; and unleashing resources to transform the everyday experiences of women and girls.
