Join the Princeton Women’s Network (PWN) virtually to hear Samara Bay ’02 speak about finding your voice and her book Permission to Speak on Monday, May 13, 8 – 9 p.m. Eastern Time.

Is it possible to enjoy public speaking? To love your voice and trust you’ll get heard? Can you really show ALL the way up with your gorgeous ideas and your gorgeous heart?

Samara offers best-of takeaways from her much-anticipated debut big idea book with Penguin Random House, a personal and cultural reckoning with what speaking in public is and what it can be.

Our voices tell a story about power, and this keynote offers wildly practical tips, moving and inspiring tales, and a massive dollop of permission to find your power, out loud.

The goal: a voice that's specific not generic, brave not safe, joyful not self-serious, varied not squeezed into one boring note, diverse in all the ways. So, you move the room and get what you want — the gig, the raise, the respect, the yes, the future that is calling to you.

A timely talk that meets the crises of this moment with joy, science-based strategy, and contagious courage.

Join us as we proudly recognize our Regional Prize Winners and Recipients of Certificates of Accomplishment. These students were selected from applications across our At-Large regions (including Central At-Large, where the Austin region falls). Our keynote speaker is Sydney Montgomery ‘15, Executive Director & Founder of Barrier Breakers. Please RSVP here by May 2nd.

The Yale Club of Austin invites its Ivy+ friends to play paintball at nearby Xtreme Paintball in Manor.  For anyone who has not tried this sport before, it is a great way to meet people while getting in some exercise, and it’s lots of fun to play. Be sure to arrive by 9:45am for orientation (play starts at 10am).

Depending on how many sign up from each alumni group, we may make up teams using combinations of schools. Be sure to wear your school clothing. Headgear is provided for protection, and you can choose to wear full-length pants and shirts if you wish, though some choose to play in shorts and t-shirts.  There are restrictions on how close one can be to the “target” player (reinforced by the course monitors), so it’s not particularly uncomfortable to be hit.  The paint washes off clothing easily in cold water.

The cost will be $25, which includes all equipment and a full pack of paintballs. To sign up, please send $25 to the Yale Club of Austin via Zelle, and they’ll make the group payment. Check your email for more details…
