Since the beginning, the UK Women's Forum has existed to create an equitable community at the University. As the role of women in the workplace continues to evolve, our commitment remains the same: creating space to discuss relevant issues and using collective problem solving and educational opportunities to empower and champion women.We envision a network of empowered employees, working together to serve and build a University community that values equality by providing an inclusive environment for conversations about issues of concern for women. To accomplish these goals, the UK Women's Forum aims to:• Deliver dynamic and accessible professional development for all employees• Provide financial awards to assist and encourage continuing education• Recognize and celebrate employees in diverse areas at UK, regardless of gender identification, race, or ethnicity• Create space for open dialogue, challenging conversation, and uplifting the voices of marginalized populations on campus
