On April 25, Supporting Women in Political Science (SWIPS) hosted its third annual Women Leadership Summit at Texas State University with the assistance of the Department of Political Science.
The summit began with refreshments and a networking hour with panelists and attendees. This provided prime opportunities for individuals to interact with one another and discuss their interests, studies, and job prospects.
The first session focused on “Elected Officials.” Moderated by SWIPS President Madelyn Byers, panelists included Major Jane Hughson of San Marcos and Council Member Amanda Rodriguez. The second session, moderated by SWIPS Officer Lucy Cifero, centered on “Public Administration/Nonprofit.” Speakers included Suzanne Barnard from the Texas Department of Agriculture and Anissa Mancias from Texas Rising.
SWIPS is a nonpartisan women’s organization at Texas State University. This professional education and development organization is dedicated to helping political science majors and other students explore the various aspects of political science, enabling them to pursue their professional and academic interests. SWIPS meets every other Tuesday at 6:00PM in THH 309.
