Women R.E.A.D.

The Women R.E.A.D. Program (formerly Leading From Where You Are), sponsored by the Women’s Center and the Office for Human Resources, provides an opportunity for Civil Service and Bargaining Unit women to develop leadership skills, engage in networking opportunities with other CSBU women and increase their ability to make a difference on campus. Participants in R.E.A.D. assess their goals, read and discuss a selected book, select and implement a small climate change project, and reflect and learn from the capstone speaker. Participants meet in small groups of 8-12 women during extended lunchtimes.

In addition, volunteer group facilitators participate in a 4-hour training and two other facilitator meetings to gain additional leadership skills. E-mail the Women’s Center if you are interested in being a volunteer facilitator.
