The Women in Government Lecture Series
Bringing nationally-known leaders to our stage
The Women in Government Lecture Series was established at Pittsburg State University through a generous gift from the Helen S. Boylan Foundation to the PSU Foundation in 2001. Its objective is to provide the campus and community insight into the perspectives and experiences of key leaders while recognizing their contributions to the state, region, and nation.
