Lunch with a Leader

Are you looking for INSPIRATION? Join us for a Lunch with a Leader! This series is held once a month. Students will sign up to meet with a prominent female leader from our community - whether she is from the area or a Bennie alumnae - who is breaking boundaries. Lunch is free and provided by the IWL.

Look for e-mails to sign up!

• Anousheh Ansari (first female private space explorer!)
• Anne-Marie Slaughter (former Director of policy Planning for the U.S. Department of State)
• Dr. Gina Wesley (CSB Alumne and owner, CEO and optometrist at Complete Eye Care in Medina, MN)
• MaryAnn Baenninger (CSB President), Sue Palmer (Vice President, CSB finance and administration) and Rita Knuesel (CSB/SJU Provost)
• Steph DeRuyck and Erin Sexton (CSB Alumnae)
• Michael Kimmel (Sociologist and leading researcher on masculinity)
