Special Event Spotlight
Please join us this fall for Celebration 55: The Women's Leadership Summit, a historic four-day event honoring fifty-five years of women leaders at Harvard Law School. Our fast-evolving program features panels on topics ranging from law firm and corporate leadership, public service, career transitions and "on-ramping," non-traditional career paths, the "New Girls' Network" and many, many more. Whether you're practicing law, taking time out, or have changed fields entirely, you'll find programs that target your interests and concerns.
Online registration and information on local hotels is now available on the Celebration 55 website.
For information about sponsorship opportunities, please contact Chava Kallberg by email at ckallberg@law.harvard.edu or by phone at 617-384-9521.
