Third Annual All Access Pass Event – On the Wings of Innovation

Wings of Innovation Event

This year's symposium was a great success. The fun-filled weekend kicked off with cocktails and reconnecting at the Florida Museum of Natural History where guests enjoyed a private tour of the Butterfly Rainforest.

Our keynote speaker Rhonda Holt started off our Friday with an eye opening presentation on how a diverse team thrives and fosters creativity. Our guests also enjoyed hearing from UF Faculty from the College of Journalism & Communications Dean Diane McFarlin and Professor Sandra Chance, and Professor Lyrissa Lidsky of the Levin College of Law, Dr. Leilani Doty of the UF Cognitive Memory Disorder Clinic and Florida Innovation Hub Director Jane Muir.

The mission of UF Women is to help women connect and provide leadership opportunities and support to the University in their areas of interest. The attendees of the Third Annual All Access Pass were able to connect with other women who share their passion for the University of Florida. It was a wonderful experience!
