The Panhellenic Council is sponsoring professional speaker, Tina Van Steenbergen.
Van Steenbergen has a passion and a purpose for working with women. She will deliver her keynote speech "Creating Confidence."
Van Steenbergen says "Confidence has long been an expectation of women. And because we’re just supposed to have it, we often speak about it as if it is easy: 'Just be confident!' It doesn’t work that way! With the pressures put on us as women in college—class, work, volunteering, studying, trying to stay healthy—how could we possibly, simply 'be confident'? Confidence is a journey, a long and at times treacherous hike. One with hills, valleys, twists, turns and no map. While it’s not easy, finding authentic confidence is possible—if we work as a team."
