The economics department will host a panel discussion on the ethics of evaluating women's progress and work/life balance as part of the College's 40th Anniversary of Coeducation.  Featured panelist Anne-Marie Slaughter, the Bert G. Kerstetter '66 University Professor of Politics and International Affairs at Princeton University, will give a talk titled 'Measuring Success: Women, Work and Family in the 21st Century.'  Other panelists include Sheila Cavanaugh ’81, consultant and former senior vice president of Fidelity Investments, the largest mutual fund company in the United States; and Megan Fox-Kelly ’99, assistant chaplain and director of retreats at Holy Cross. 

From 2009–2011, Slaughter served as Director of Policy Planning for the United States Department of State, the first woman to hold that position. Slaughter is the author of the controversial Atlantic article “Why Women Still Can't Have It All.”
