UC San Diego Women’s Conference
The 7th Annual UC San Diego Women’s Conference connected the campus community with business professionals, healthcare providers, scientists and award-winning faculty to share ideas about empowering today’s working women. Hosted by the Chancellor’s Advisory Committee on the Status of Women on March 10 at the Price Center, the theme was (Re)Defining the UC San Diego Woman: Equality for Women is Progress for All. Keynote speaker Tricia Downing, elite athlete and author, shared how she reemerged from a life-threatening accident to become the first paraplegic to complete an IRONMAN Triathlon. The conference also included breakout sessions with topics ranging from “Pop Culture Feminism” to “Women Who Made America” and “All Day Energy the Natural Way.” Photos by Erik Jepsen/UC San Diego Publications
