?? Thrilled to share this amazing feedback from our FWCA conference! ?? "I had an amazing time at FWCA. I experienced a camaraderie that I have never encountered in academia. I made connections with other Emory faculty as well as others in the field. I left the conference with tools for success, strategies for promotion, leadership skills, and social capital. I was left energized and motivated to return and excel in my work. In particular, I was faced with challenges around leading my research team. At the conference I attended a leadership seminar that tackled the issues I was facing with effective strategies. Some of these issues were race-specific, and thus, I strongly believe, based on my prior experience, would not have received such important relevant strategies in non-race/ethnic specific environments. I am beyond thankful for the experience, and I am excited to return next year." ?? It’s incredible to hear how attendees found a unique sense of community and created valuable connections with fellow faculty.??
