Location: Union Ballroom 

Description: The Panhellenic Council is sponsoring speaker, Tina VanSteenbergen, who has a passion and a purpose for working with women. She will deliver her keynote speech "Creating Confidence": Confidence has long been an expectation of women. And because we're just supposed to have it, we often speak about it as if it is easy: "Just be confident! It doesn't work that way! With the pressures put on us as women in college -- class, work, volunteering, studying, trying to stay healthy-- how could we possibly, simply be "confident"? Confidence is a journey, a long and at times treacherous hike. One with hills, valleys, twists, turns, and no map. While it's not easy, finding authentic confidence is possible-- if we work as a team.
