The Public Leadership Education Network (PLEN) will be holding its 21st Women, Law & Public Policy Seminar November 12-14, 2010 for women students who are considering law school as a prelude to a career in public policy.

Wanted to share this interesting article with you found in the New York Times: For American Students, Life Lessons in the Mideast. AT first glance, they seem like typical American college students on their junior year abroad, swapping stories of language mishaps and cultural clashes, sharing sightseeing tips and travel deals. But these students are not studying at Oxford, the Sorbonne or an art institute in Florence. Instead, they are attending the American University in Cairo, studying Arabic, not French, and dealing with cultural, social and religious matters far more complex than those in Spain or Italy. And while their […]

The New Power Suit for Summer By CHRISTINA BINKLEY for the Wall Street Journal As Temperatures Heat Up, Conveying Power and Authority at Work Without Breaking a Sweat It’s summer, and the fever is spreading: T-shirts, Capri pants, sundresses and shorts are appearing in offices all over the country. Dress codes tend to relax in the summer months. It’s difficult to endure business-formal when it’s 85 degrees. But it’s equally difficult to maintain an aura of authority when you’re wearing a hot-pink golf shirt. When executives drop blazers, ties, and dress shoes, they are eliminating important clues to rank and […]

For the second time in two days I am dating myself by my comments but I’ll do it anyway. Have you ever heard of the “Choose Your Own Adventure” books? Well they were great because throughout the book you could choose what the main character does and you could read the books over and over again, each time getting a new story. So they were creative and economical! In a similar vein the Wall Street Journal features an article today entitled “How to Create Your Own Summer Internship.” The article, subtitled “Creating Internships Out of Thin Air,” really caught my […]
