(Hamilton, NY – April 2013) Sheryl Sandberg is still speaking about her New York Times bestseller “Lean In: Women, Work, and the Will to Lead” at 5 p.m. April 5. It is now in a bigger room.
From the cover of Time Magazine, to a slot on 60 Minutes, Sandberg continues to spread her message about women in the workplace. Still the chief operating officer of Facebook, this is a rare opportunity to talk with a tech billionaire.
Sandberg is the headliner for the second annual e-weekend at Colgate University. Last year, e-weekend was kicked off by Richard Branson. During e-weekend, an alum was able to get her company funded, another company was launched and students interacted with entrepreneurial alums.
This year, Sandberg will visit with students before kicking off e-weekend. She will meet with Colgate Women In business then make her way to Cotterell Court for her talk.
