The Leadership: Film Screening and Discussion

The world is crying out for a new model of leadership, but what is it? The Leadership is an award-winning documentary that follows an international group of 76 female scientists on an Antarctic voyage designed to transform them "into the sort of leaders they want to be."

The ANU College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC) and the Women* in Physics, Astro & Engineering (WiPAE) are proud to co-host a free screening of The Leadership, followed by an informal discussion with Associate Dean - Diversity, Belonging, Inclusion and Equity (DBIE) in the College of Engineering, Computing and Cybernetics (CECC), Professor Meredith Nash.

Arrive from 5:30pm for the screening, which will start at 6pm. The informal discussion will commence after the screening, from 7:45pm.
