IPR Affiliate Dr. Joyce Chen, Associate Professor in the Department of Agricultural, Environmental, and Development Economics (AEDE), recently hosted an event for Creating Confident Girls, Cultivating Women Who Lead.

According to Dr. Chen, this event was "part of a day of roundtable discussions across the city of Columbus to discuss the findings from The Girls’ Index—a groundbreaking study conducted by local nonprofit Ruling Our Experiences (ROX)—and how we can cultivate pathways to success and leadership for women."

Participants included faculty and staff from around the University, including AEDE, Engineering Education, Sociology, IPR, Comparative Studies, Veterinary Clinical Services, Health Sciences Library, OSU SRE, and the School of Environment and Natural Resources.
