The annual Way Up Conference is designed to develop women leaders to enhance Iowa higher education, and is for faculty, staff, administrators and graduate students in higher education, and those aspiring to be leaders in higher ed.

This year’s conference is being held Nov. 2–3 in Des Moines. The theme of the conference is “Thriving Together in a Landscape of Change.” Participants will have the opportunity to reflect on advancements made by women in higher education in Iowa, discuss hot topics faced by many of us, and network with others across the state. Plan to join at Hilton Des Moines Downtown for enriching conversations on leadership, wellness, social justice, empowerment, networking, and so much more.

Registration is open. Visit the website to learn more about keynote speakers and workshop sessions, including Drake’s own Director of Access and Success, Michelle Laughlin. Contact Amanda Martin, amanda.martin@drake.edu, Way Up Conference committee member, with any questions.
