Women in Leadership Lunch with Dr. Marcella Mandracchia-Brasco
Event Actions
The Women in Leadership Lunch series allows women-identifying staff and faculty members at Adelphi to share their stories with students. This space provides an opportunity for students to hear about their life experiences, careers, and goals, as well as successes and challenges they’ve faced throughout their careers, ultimately leading them to the roles they are in today. Join us this month for a conversation with Dr. Marcella Mandracchia-Brasco, Assistant Director of Student Success for the Ruth S. Ammon College of Education and Health Sciences. Dr. Mandracchia-Brasco will present Choosing Your Passion!
