NYU Women's Leadership Program: Mindfulness in Action
Dear All,
Here is another great opportunity you should check out!
NYU Women's Leadership Program:
Mindfulness in Action
February 9, 16, 23; March 2, 2017
| 5:00 PM - 7:00 PM | 12 Washington Place
Application Deadline: January 16,
2017
Today it is more important than
ever to empower women's leadership. Real progress depends on including the
talents of our full population. Only when there is real equality, at all levels
of society - from the home to the executive board room - can a population
flourish both economically and culturally.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
shows that 51.5% of women in the United States workforce hold management,
professional and related positions and yet only 4.2% of Fortune 500 CEOs are
women. And in the age of digital technology, women only hold 26% of all tech
jobs. Across sectors, there is a significant lack of representation when it
comes to women in leadership roles.
It is vital to empower women with
the tools to succeed as leaders. Starting on February 9th, Dr. Carmela Bennett
hosts four student leadership development trainings for a select group of NYU
women. The program will consist of experiential workshops focusing on Embodied
Leadership, a bold new approach to learning to lead. Particularly significant
for women leaders, this body/mind approach enables women to experience the body
as a source of intelligence and power in ways that directly impact their
ability to act with agency, develop a consistent voice, take a stand for self
and others, and build the resilience to deal with ambiguity, complexity, and
power dynamics. The program is customized to help women naturally develop a
powerful leadership presence with the ability to match leadership styles to
leadership challenges.
Participants will:
Develop deep self awareness
Build a more powerful leadership
presence that is able to stay open, present, and connected under conditions of
complexity and ambiguity
Access the intelligence of the
mind/body system
Reduce stress and increase
resilience by developing a greater range of actions
Work with historical issues of
cultural and gender identity
Applications to join Dr. Bennet
are now open, and will be accepted until Sunday, January 16th at 11:59PM EST.

Intergroup Dialogue Applications
Hi Everyone,
Check out this great opportunity sponsored by the NYU Center for Multicultural Education and Programs (CMEP)!
Application deadline is Sunday, January 22nd.
The Intergroup Dialogue (IGD) Program is a nationally recognized 1-credit undergraduate course that brings together small groups of students from diverse backgrounds to share their experiences and gain new knowledge related to diversity and social justice. Trained graduate students co-facilitate each course section. Past section topics included the following: Race, Gender and Sexual Orientation, Faith and Sexual Orientation, Disability, and Race: Bi/Multicultural Identities.
The IGD Program is housed in the Center for Multicultural Education and Programs, and the course is housed in the Silver School of Social Work. The IGD model focuses specifically on intergroup dynamics within the context of an institution of higher education while promoting awareness and change in intergroup relations at the individual, cultural, institutional levels. The guiding assumption is that diversity is an institutional asset and can be used to enhance growth of the NYU community while also achieving specific educational outcomes.
The course is 10 weeks long and meets on Fridays from February 3 through April 12 (no class on March 10 & 17, the Fridays before and during Spring Break). The course time is typically from 2-4 PM.
Access the IGD application for undergraduate students here.
