Hey D.C.!
We know you want to be successful in college and in your future career. But what does that look like? Not sure where to start? That’s where Nerdy Girl Success® comes in. Our Career and Leadership Summit helps answer those questions and more.
Agenda
9:00am - 9:30am | Check-in
9:00am - 11:00am | Career Fair
Visit with leaders across all industries. This is your time to learn about everything from the career you’re interested in from a woman who is actually in that field to discovering careers you never knew about or considered. Here are some of the careers and industries that will be there:
- Marketing
- Tech
- Government
- Business
- And so much more!
9:50am - 11:15am | Workshops
- My Story – Everyone has a story to tell. How do you craft your story in 30 seconds, 90 seconds and 5 min? We’ll show you how!
- Leadership without Authority – People willingly follow leaders who are authentic, humble, who listen and are purpose-driven. When we believe that one can lead without authority, it frees people to lead without feeling like they need authority. Learn more about what a great leader looks like and find that leader within YOU in this breakout session!
- Understanding Your Value – Each person brings something of value to the table. How do you identify and communicate what your unique skills are?
11:20am - 12:20pm | Panel Discussion
Our panelists will be sharing their journeys from how they started just like you to where they are now. Learn their insights and strategies for success no matter what field you enter.

Testimonials
“I really appreciated this experience because it helped me feel more comfortable with not knowing what I want to do. It also gave me lots of exposure to interesting career options that I didn’t even know existed. “
~ Alexa (student attendee)
“From this experience, I was able to learn more about how to network and be comfortable doing it. I was also able to understand the ins and outs of different careers, many of which I had no prior knowledge about.”
~ Anaya (Student Attendee)
