Jamie Aron chosen for 'New Leadership Mississippi'

2013 May 3

Mississippi State University's student, Jamie Aron of Flowood, MS, will be one of the 33 participants in Mississippi's first NEW Leadership program on the Campus of Mississippi University Women on May 20-24, 2013 hosted by Mississippi University for Women and the Stennis Center for Public Service.

NEW Leadership is a national bi-partisan program developed by Rutgers University to address the under-representation of women in American politics and civic leadership.

The five-day residential institute educates Mississippi college women about the important role that politics plays in their lives and encourages them to become effective leaders in their communities as well as the political arena.

Participants are undergraduate women representing a wide range of socioeconomic, ethnic, racial and educational backgrounds and academic majors. Applicants from non-traditional college students, women of color, and students majoring in fields outside political science were encouraged to apply.
