Last week, Alpha Kappa Alpha Sorority and Rho Lambda Sorority Leadership Society presented the panel discussion "Determining Your Success: Female Leadership in the 21st Century."

The event, held in Levering's Great Hall, featured Stephanie Rawlings-Blake, Baltimore City Council president; Joan Pratt, Baltimore City comptroller; Kristina Johnson, the university's provost and senior vice president for academic affairs; and Karen Rothenberg, dean of the University of Maryland School of Law. Scores of students gathered to listen to the panel discuss the importance of breaking barriers.

Jessica Turral, a sophomore psychology major and one of the event's organizers, said that the two sororities felt there weren't enough on-campus events focused on female leadership.

"We wanted to change this," Turral said. "We need more programs on campus that encourage people to meet and talk to others from diverse backgrounds and in a comfortable setting. I think we achieved our goals."
