The Power of the Sisterhood workshop with Laura Okmin |
Laura Okmin, NFL sideline reporter for FOX and 1991 KU J-School graduate, will host a free workshop for J-School students on Oct. 26 from 5-9 p.m. via Zoom. Okmin started her organization, GALvanize, to give young women who want to work in the world of media something that she didn’t have: a network of supportive women. Okmin’s bootcamps empower women by teaching participants to build their own foundations through establishing relationships, building confidence and supporting each other. Okmin is a proud Jayhawk Journalist, and the workshop is her gift to the J-School. She is especially hoping students whose confidence has been affected by the pandemic will attend. Learn more about GALvanize here. Spots are limited, so please register now: rockcha.lk/okmin. |
