Meet some of the top women in television, April 30

You are invited to Dodge College of Film and Media Arts’ 8th Annual Women in Focus Conference next Friday, April 30, at 1:30 in the Folino Theater, Marion Knott Studios, with a mixer to follow — a chance to talk to our panelists informally — on the sound stage. This year the Women in Focus Conference will feature influential women in television. The conference is designed to encourage dialogue between women who enjoy successful careers in the industry and those who are just starting out  (our students).
