DESCRIPTION: Join us for September&rsquo\;s InfluenceHER: Empowering the 
 Next Generation of Women! Learn about the importance of empowering the 
 next generation of women through education\, community\, and family. 
 Professors from COC will discuss their leadership experiences and share 
 how quality education equips young women with crucial knowledge. Providing
  support\, mentorship\, and encouragement at the business\, family and 
 community levels uplifts girls and helps them develop a strong sense of 
 self-worth and confidence that sets them up for future success in their 
 careers and personal lives. All women are welcome! We hope to see you 
 there! Meet our guest speakers: Julie Johnson A native of Brooklyn\, New

 dedication to Equity Minded and Inclusive practices. She endeavors to 
 create an inviting and supportive environment so that all students feel 
 valued and encouraged to participate in meaningful conversations about 
 American history. As a wife and mother in the 21st century\, Julie 
 believes uplifting women's history is of paramount importance for future 
 generations. Kelly Cude Kelly Cude is a Professor of Biological Sciences

 cancer research at the National Institutes of Health (NIH) and University 
 of Washington\, where she earned her PhD in Molecular and Cellular 
 Biology. After witnessing the &ldquo\;STEM Gap&rdquo\; firsthand\, Kelly

 encouraging more female and underrepresented students to go into science.

 stories of her own scientific failures and emphasizes that success in 
 science relies on problem solving skills and resilience rather than 
 &ldquo\;being smart.&rdquo\;
