Record Participation at Fall Conference
Griffiths members kicked off the year Oct. 9 & 10 in Columbia at the Fall Conference. On Friday evening, members enjoyed a presentation on leadership and friendship by Angela Bendorf Jamison, BJ ‘85. Angela is one of the girls from Ames, a group of eleven women who have celebrated forty years of friendship. She shared her story as well as her prescription for friendship - B1. The Girls From Ames is the most recent book club selection. Click here for more on the book and look for details on the discussion at the spring conference in April.
On Saturday, members were treated to presentations on the dangers of plastics, campus sustainability measures, women in male dominated fields and a campus botanical gardens tour.
