Two St. Cloud State University students are among five area college women selected to attend the 2020 National Conference for College Women Student Leaders May 27-30 at the University of Maryland, College Park in Maryland.
Anna Panek and Aemah Igbal will attend the conference through the local AAUW branch’s scholarship program. Oyuky Aragon-Flores, Kayla Vang and Anne Zweber were chosen to attend from the College of Saint Benedict.
The conference is designed to help college students hone their leadership skills. The women will participate in workshops, learn networking skills and interact with more than 800 college students from across the country.
“We’re excited to sponsor these women to attend the conference and look forward to getting to know them when they join the St. Cloud Area Branch as student members,” said Linda MacLeod, of the St. Cloud Area AAUW branch.
The scholarship covers the full cost of the conference including round trip airfare from Minneapolis. The scholarship is open to freshmen or sophomore students from St. Cloud State and the College of Saint Benedict who are interested in leadership. The five attendees were selected from 19 applicants.
