MOXIE Events: Building Confidence in Our Girls with Social Entrepreneur and Author Kristi Hemmer, '91

Wednesday, July 07

Pre-registration is now closed, but walk-ups are welcome! We hope to see you July 7 at noon at the UNI Bookstore!

Research shows that 94% of women in the C-suite played sports. Girls who play sports are more confident, have better body image and don’t quit when life is unfair or gets hard. Find out from a panel of experts how to keep our girls gutsy, self-assured and speaking up now and when we’re not around. 

The UNI Alumni Association and the UNI Bookstore invite you to join '91 UNI alum Kristi Hemmer, M.Ed., and a panel of female leaders/athletes as they discuss the importance of sports in their lives and in the lives of girls and women. Kristi is a social entrepreneur, educator, world traveler and author of "Quit Being So Good: Stories of an Unapologetic Woman".

Panelists include:

  • Bobbi Petersen, '91, UNI head volleyball coach
  • Jadyn Spencer, former University of Alabama softball player and current UNI Athletics academic advisor 
  • Leslie Prideaux, assistant vice president of alumni relations and little league girls' softball coach

  • Payton Ahrenstorff, UNI Volleyball player and  Executive Student Athlete Advisory Committee member
