UMW Associate Provost for Career and Workforce Kimberly Young received this year’s Patricia Lacey Metzger Award for distinguished achievement from the Women’s Leadership Colloquium at the University of Mary Washington.
The University of Mary Washington will be a hub of empowerment, connection and professional growth when it hosts the 31st annual Women’s Leadership Colloquium on Thursday, Nov. 6, in the Cedric Rucker University Center’s Chandler Ballroom.
This year’s event will also honor the recent winner of the Patricia Lacey Metzger Distinguished Achievement Award, Kimberly Young, associate provost for Career and Workforce at UMW, who received the accolade at a reception last week.
“Kimberly exemplifies the very essence of the Metzger Award,” said Beth Williams, UMW executive director of human resources and co-chair of the Colloquium. “Her leadership, mentorship and deep commitment to empowering others reflect the values at the heart of both this award and the Colloquium.”
The daylong Colloquium will be open to all – across industries, career stages and life experiences – and invites participants to explore this year’s theme of affirmation in professional spaces. Attendees will gain practical tools for advancing their careers, connect with a wide network of peers and mentors, and leave inspired to lead with confidence and clarity. Read more.
