WHAT: As several recent media stories have attested, women's college graduates continue to exert influence beyond their numbers.
"Though women's college graduates represent only two percent of all female college grads," noted the Oct. 2 issue of Barrons, "they constitute 20 percent of women in Congress and 30 percent of a Business Week list of rising women stars in Corporate America."
Lending credence to these figures, a panel discussion among five prominent Smith alumnae, each a leader in her field, will consider how far women have come in fields such as business, non-profits and the arts. Prof. Susan Van Dyne, who will moderate the discussion, describes it as "a millennial stock-taking, by women at the peak of their careers."
WHERE: The Metropolitan Club, 640 Sutter St., San Francisco
