The NIU Conference for Young Women introduces young women in their sophomore through senior years of high school to a variety of career areas, including professions where women have been historically underrepresented, and provides opportunities to interact with successful women faculty and NIU students. The conference includes a panel discussion on career opportunities for women; presentations by faculty on topics related to women’s collegiate experiences and career options; tours of the NIU campus; and lunch with NIU faculty, professionals, and students.  The conference is sponsored by the NIU College of Liberal Arts and Sciences and the Women’s Studies Program.
