Kvinners rådgivende råd

Velkommen til Life Universitet ( LIFE ) Kvinners råd. Vårt oppdrag er å bidra med vår kollektive ekspertise, ferdigheter og lederskap for velvære og helbredelse LIFE familien og lokalsamfunnene vi tjener. Dette vil vi oppnå ved å:

Deler vår ekspertise med Life Universitetspresident Dr. Rob Scott og hans administrasjon
Gjennomføre virtuelle workshops rundt helse og velvære for Life Universitetsstudenter og samfunnet
Gi informasjon og muligheter om programressurser som kan være til nytte Life universitet

Hensikten med Kvinnerådet er å hjelpe Life Universitetet oppfyller sitt oppdrag om å styrke hver student med utdanning, ferdigheter og verdier for å implementere en verden sentrert om vitalistisk tenkning og handling. Life Universitetets programmer er designet for å utdanne studenter til å identifisere og korrigere forstyrrelser, slik at levende systemer kan forbedre uttrykk for deres medfødte potensial. Vi vil implementere denne visjonen og effektivt fortelle Life Universitetshistorie til varierte valgkretser i våre lokalsamfunn der vi bor og arbeider.

Vårt overordnede mål er å gi veiledning, samarbeide med eksterne partnere og ta opp muligheter og problemstillinger av bekymring for kvinnelige studenter, fakultetet og ansatte ved Life Universitet. Denne svært imponerende gruppen av kvinnelige ledere vil også veilede og forme programmer som vil heve Life Universitetsoppdrag og global visjon om fortreffelighet innen undervisning, læring og forskning, som fører til en life av integritet og varig hensikt.
