Sponsored by Women of Hopkins DMV

Join your fellow alumnae leaders, Liz Kamins, A&S '98, and Dr. Johanna Wolf, A&S '98 for an evening of facilitated conversation and meaningful connection with alumni professionals in DC. It will be a space for us to collectively explore what resiliency looks like when the future feels uncertain and learn as well as share strategies around building mental flexibility, managing stress, and staying anchored in our values and priorities. Our facilitators will also discuss the importance of intentional pivoting during uncertain times and how such changes can lead to growth, clarity, and renewed sense of direction. All alums and friends are welcome!

Attendees will engage in speaker-led discussion during the first half of the event, and it will be followed by a guided networking session with fellow alums and friends in the room for the rest of the event time.

Light appetizers and beverages will be provided at the event!
