Sign-up for Elect Her, a free workshop promoting women in government!! Our speaker is Senator Katrina Robinson of the Tennessee State Senate.
This national workshop has occurred on 123 university campuses and addresses the gap in opportunities for women interested in public service, elected office, or general leadership on Vanderbilt’s campus. Elect Her is a training on how to run for student government that focuses on women’s leadership and welcomes all students. Elect Her breaks down barriers to women’s political leadership.
At the workshop, participants will:
- Discuss the importance of women running for office
- Examine the issues they care about
- Map out their support networks
- Craft and deliver elevator speeches
- Learn about campaign strategy
- Meet women role models who have run for public office in their community
- Network with students who currently serve on our campus student government
Elect Her seeks to create learning environments that foster and promote a culture of respect for people across identities. We welcome and embrace intersections of identity, including gender expression and identity, sex, sexuality, race, ethnicity, national origin, first language, ability, age, religion, party, socioeconomic status, and more.
