Join us for this program in recognition of International Women’s Day to learn more about the leadership styles of women through the pandemic. This important event represents an ongoing collaboration between the Women’s Leadership Center at the University of Saint Joseph and the World Affairs Council of Connecticut.

Our featured guests are Supriya Garikipati and Lynn Ricci. Dr. Supriya Garikipati’s key research interest is in evaluating the interplay between economic policy and gender. She is the co-author of the globally-recognized paper, “Leading the Fight Against the Pandemic: Does Gender ‘Really’ Matter?” The research evaluated 194 countries and found that COVID outcomes are systematically better in countries led by women.

Lynn Ricci is the President and CEO of the Hospital for Special Care in CT. Throughout the evening’s discussion, Ms. Ricci will focus on decisions made early in the face of COVID-19, as well as support she has provided to her staff, clinicians, patients, and their families across the many months of the pandemic.
