Speaker Series
The WE Lead Speaker Series talks are open for the entire campus and community. These presentations focus on the speaker's contributions to the environmental fields and professions.  The purpose of the Speaker Series is to expose all constituents to professional women who are environmental leaders.

HerStory
These talks usually are at the WE Lead monthly meetings; the speaker often shares, on a more personal level, her struggles and accomplishments as a woman in her field--she's telling "Her Story".  This is an opportunity for WE Lead students to learn from an environmental professional about being a woman in an environmental or natural resource field.
