UWHEN - UVU Chapter Book club

Spring 2024

Nice Girls Still Don't Get the Corner Office by Lois P. Frankel

The UWHEN - UVU Chapter Book Club has successfully completed another semester. 

Under the guidance of our book club coordinator, Sabine Berlin, we explored the thought-provoking book by Lois P. Frankel, PhD: Nice Girls Still Don’t Get The Corner Office. The book looks at unconscious mistakes women often make in their careers and offers practical advice for professional growth.

Registered participants had the opportunity to pick up a free copy of the book from the Women’s Success Center. Thank you to all who participated. We appreciate your active engagement and thoughtful contributions during our discussions.

As we wrap up this semester, we invite everyone to stay tuned for our upcoming announcement regarding the Fall 2024 book selection. Our meetings take place both in person and virtually, providing flexibility for all members of the UVU community to participate. We look forward to welcoming you again next semester.
