The first Women’s Professional Advancement Day was held at BYU–Hawaii on May 30. There were workshops, mentoring appointments, networking opportunities, and a panel discussion to develop a culture of mentoring among women on campus. The idea to have mentoring and educational experiences on the BYU–Hawaii campus stemmed Debbie Hippolite Wright’s, vice president of Student Development and Services, experiences with Women Leaders in Higher Education. Faculty, staff and students were invited to attend to learn how to better themselves and advance in careers.
