The Scripps College Economics Society hosted a discussion about Lean In, written by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Her book gives practical suggestions for increasing women’s representation in leadership positions in all industries. This followed a telecast with Sandberg in which she discusses her ongoing efforts to elevate the status of women worldwide by promoting women’s leadership.

The meeting was well attended, and participants engaged in a lively discussion about Sandberg’s book as well as the more general issues that professional and working women (especially in the finance and tech industries) face.

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls, apple cider, and pumpkin spice bread accompanied the meeting as well.
