Lead, Succeed and Inspire: An Evening with Changemakers
Wednesday, March 14th, 2018 at 6 pm
In recognition of International Women’s Day and the International Day for the Elimination of Racism, join us for an evening of inspirational engagement.
On a daily basis we are reminded of the importance and value of creating space for dialogue on gender and racial equality as a vehicle for creating and sustaining meaningful change. This event will recognize the lives and leadership of women and people of colour as they share what it takes to lead, succeed, and inspire change.
Engage in dialogue and exchange ideas with UBC alumni, faculty, and community members who will explore issues of race and gender through an intersectional lens, and discuss efforts to make our communities, and the world, a better place for all.
Opening remarks by Minister Jody Wilson-Raybould.
