Susan Blount Power Lunch Series
The Center for Women in Law, through the Susan Blount Power Lunch Series, seeks to provide students with role models and mentors by exposing them to prominent women lawyers and other public figures from a wide range of career paths. Attending students have the opportunity to ask questions and discuss their own career goals in an informal and interactive environment.
The Susan Blount Power Lunch Series is supported by the generosity of the Hortense Ward Speakers Fund.
