Women in Science Panel Discussion: Women Don't Ask: How to Become an Effective Negotiator

Surveys have shown that 20% of all adult women will never negotiate, which has lead to an average salary 30% lower than men in similar positions.  This panel focuses on the major pitfalls of negotiating, why women negotiate less effectively and provide tools for effective communication at any stage of your career (undergraduate to professional). The panelists come from a broad range of backgrounds:

Teresa Cardador- Assistant Professor, School of Labor & Employment Relations
Don Ort - Robert Emerson Professor of Plant Biology
Alexis Thompson - Director, Postdoctoral Affairs Office
Sarah Zehr - Assistant Dean and Director, Engineering Career Services

Date: Tuesday April 24th, 2012
