SUMMARY:Bold Women\, Sustainable Futures - Supriya Verma Book Launch
DESCRIPTION:Bold Women\, Sustainable Futures: Leadership Lessons for STEM\, Business & Sustainability in an Age of Resistance \nIn an era marked by escalating climate risk\, political and economic uncertainty\, and growing resistance to equity\, sustainability\, and inclusion\, leadership is being quietly reshaped—often away from courage\, long-term thinking\, and responsibility. \nThe new book Bold Women\, Sustainable Futures: Leadership Lessons in an Age of Resistance emerges from this moment. \nIn this virtual book launch event with the University of Guelph\, author and sustainability leader Supriya Verma explores why women’s leadership—particularly across engineering\, science\, business\, and sustainability—is not optional\, but strategically essential for shaping resilient systems and futures. \nDrawing on her debut book\, which features leadership journeys of women across sustainability\, engineering-adjacent fields\, business\, policy\, science\, and academia—alongside a global Turning Point chapter with additional voices—Supriya reflects on: \n\nWhy women leaders in STEM\, business\, and sustainability are facing renewed backlash and scrutiny\nHow sustainability\, gender equity\, and leadership are deeply interconnected across disciplines\nWhat authenticity\, resilience\, and healing as a leadership strategy look like in practice—not theory\nHow women navigate leadership in systems that still privilege conformity\, certainty\, and perfection\nThe overlapping leadership challenges faced by women in engineering\, science\, business\, and academia\nWhat students and emerging leaders can do now to lead with clarity\, courage\, and values amid uncertainty\n\nThe session situates women’s leadership within an interdisciplinary and real-world context\, recognizing that today’s and tomorrow’s leaders operate across technical\, social\, and organizational systems—whether in classrooms\, laboratories\, boardrooms\, public institutions\, or community settings. It explores how individuals\, organizations\, and institutions engaged in engineering\, science\, business\, and sustainability —as well as fields concerned with gender equity and social change\, impact and justice—can respond to today’s realities: polarization\, backlash against ESG and DEI\, climate complexity\, and widespread uncertainty\, without retreating from their values or long-term responsibilities. \nThis event is designed for students\, faculty\, and staff seeking practical insight\, reflective depth\, and grounded leadership lessons relevant to careers in STEM\, business\, sustainability\, social justice\, and beyond. Faculty\, departments\, and institutions interested in incorporating the book into curricula\, leadership programs\, executive education\, or student engagement initiatives—and in exploring tailored talks\, guest lectures\, or keynote sessions—are warmly invited to connect following the session. \nStay connected & receive updates\nPublisher’s Book Page\nPurchase the book on Amazon\nPurchase the book on Indigo\nContact: sia@spsxgroup.com

DESCRIPTION:University of Guelph\, Musical Theatre ensemble course presents! \nInto the Woods takes us to a land of fairy tales.
