“For most of history, Anonymous was a woman.” -Virginia Woolf<br>
It’s time for us to stop being anonymous. Graduate Women at MIT is hosting our annual Spring Empowerment Conference April 10-14, 2017! This year, the theme is “Be Bold, Be Heard”, and we’ll be hosting events centered around helping you find and amplify your unique voice. Whether that’s about improving your written communication, learning the best way to handle confrontations or tricky conversations, or becoming more politically involved – the world needs your voice, and we want to hear it.<br>
