Elmira Mangum, AAUW NC College/University chair and College/University representative for the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill introduced a panel of three women who participated in the 2008 National Conference of College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL).

Two were members of NASPA (National organization for Student Affairs Administrators) who were presenters at the conference. One was a student from UNC-Chapel Hill who attended the conference. All three found the experience valuable.

Only a handful of students from North Carolina attended the conference. Branches are encouraged to publicize the conference and to use some of their fundraising to help students defray the expenses.

For more information on the 2008 conference and to watch for information as the 2009 information is posted see nccwsl.org. [The 2009 conference will be June 4-6 at the Univ. of Maryland at College Park.]
