Ascend: a Two-Session Program This event will be a two-session program this summer. The dates are June 15, 2022, and September 14, 2022. You can choose to register for a single session for $199 or both sessions for $299.
Session 1: Negotiating Time & Happiness | June 15, 2022
Time is our most valuable resource. Yet, working women are more time poor than working men, are less likely to negotiate for time on adjustable deadlines at work and are less likely to delegate tasks. Women also spend more time on non-promotable assignments. In this session, Prof. Whillans discusses her research on time-use and happiness.
Session 2: Deflecting Power Moves | August 3, 2022
At work, we are often in situations where powerful people try to change our minds. How can we stand-up for ourselves to live our best lives in line with our values? In this session, Prof. Whillans discusses research on how to recognize “power-moves” and how to deflect them in service of acting in line with our values and goals at work and outside of it.
___________________________________________________________________________________
Ascend is an inclusive program with a curriculum geared toward established lawyers looking to further their careers. People of all gender identities are encouraged to register for this event.

Stolen Selfies Through Hacked Webcams On Tuesday, September 27, the Strauss Center will host professional hacker Tinker, Red Team program architect and an expert in information security, as part of our Tales from the Cybersecurity Front speaker series, to tackle concepts of security, exploitation, and vulnerabilities.

Join us as we discuss the personal impact of information security from the perspective of a hacker and learn about how hackers exploit vulnerabilities in ways that hit close to home. Wendy Nather, Senior Cybersecurity Fellow with the Strauss Center, will moderate.
Lunch will be served. For more information on this event, contact Susan Crane at scrane@austin.utexas.edu.
