A Women’s Center event brought together Duke students, faculty and staff with local entrepreneurs
Duke University’s Women Center marked Women’s History Month with a recent event, The Power of Her: Women in Business, Celebrating Women of Duke and Durham. The March 24 event in the Bryan Center aimed to highlight and support local women-owned businesses — bringing together women entrepreneurs, small business owners and Duke students, faculty and staff.
“The Duke University Women’s Center celebrates Women’s History Month every year to not only reflect on and honor the past achievements, or the foundations women before us dared to build that didn’t exist, but also today’s trailblazers,” said Women’s Center Director Krystal George.
“Durham has so many amazing women-owned businesses; this event gives us a chance to uplift them and connect them to our students.” George, right, enjoys a Photo Booth experience with participants as part of the festivities.
The event allowed Duke students, faculty and staff to connect with local entrepreneurs.
