Lauren Payne, Pharm.D., assistant clinical professor in the University of New England Department of Pharmacy Practice, was chosen by the Olympia Snowe Women’s Leadership Institute to speak at the organization’s Fall Forum. Held on November 10, 2016, the program brought together high school girls and women from a broad range of occupations.

Payne participated in three rounds of networking with the students, speaking with them about her education at UNE, post-graduate work in critical care pharmacy, and how she chose her career path. The event concluded with a debrief on the day, allowing students and mentors to share their experiences.

Founded by Senator Olympia Snowe, the Women’s Leadership Institute launched in 2015 as a way to create a meaningful leadership experience for tenth through twelfth grade girls. The program has recently expanded to a statewide model and has a total of 155 participants.
