BeBold UND Women in Leadership Summit

Empowering the next generation of women leaders.

This summit is designed to provide thought-provoking discussion regarding women in leadership and inspire us all to be bold and become a fearless, determined, leader.

This event expanded from the Hultberg Lectureship Series which was established thirty-three years ago with a gift through the UND Foundation by Clara E. Anderson (Hultberg) in memory of her parents Hans and Suzanne Hultberg. Clara was a 1928 UND graduate, with her interest in stimulating challenges and opportunities for students in business.

UND Alumna Mary Fischer, was inspired to develop an experience to empower young female leaders through education and support. In 2020, this vision began to come to life with the establishment of the BeBold UND Women in Leadership Summit.

The Nistler College has proudly hosted this event both in virtual and in-person formats with panels of distinguished women and keynote speakers. The event is invitation-based through student nominations by Nistler College faculty and staff.
