Women Inspire Speaker Series

The Women Inspire speaker series showcases outstanding women faculty whose research is making a significant impact and who serve as powerful and inspirational role models to the campus community.

In 2018, the Women Inspire Speaker Series was integrated into the AofW. Previously established through a co-sponsorship of the Office of the Provost and the Women’s Philanthropy Initiative, this speaker series provides a platform for outstanding Georgia State women faculty to share their research with a broader Georgia State audience.
