Women leaders and allies will gather at The Arcade Contemporary Art Projects Gallery at Webster University’s Gateway Campus, and will celebrate women, influence and international perspectives through discussion and networking.

Yvonne Osei, BFA '13, BA'13 and Danielle MacCartney will engage participants in a panel discussion around "Influence" in international higher education and within the fields of art and sociology. Networking will take place in the gallery’s "SISU" exhibit, which explores female strength and perseverance. SISU is a unique Finnish concept that can be roughly translated into English as strength of will, determination, perseverance, and acting rationally in the face of adversity.

Doors open at 4:30pm, panel discussion begins at 5:00 pm followed by wine reception in the gallery.

Wine will be available for little to no cost, and light snacks will be served. Parking validation is available for all guests who use the 9th Street parking garage across the street, next to the Old Post Office, at 905 Olive Street. Feel free to come for as long or as little as possible. All are welcome!!
