The conference experience: 
In late June, nine Marymount students attended the 10th annual UCLA Anderson School Forté Conference. Thanks to the generosity of Anderson School Dean Judy Olian, these young women benefited from the experience of the full two-day program, shoulder to shoulder with female MBA leaders from around the country while attending seminars on topics such as  “The Confidence Key” and “Dialogue with Leadership.”
