On November 6, NeW at the Catholic University of America hosted Giovanna Coia Pence, Catholic University alumna and Deputy Associate Director in the Office of Public Liaison at the White House. Pence shared with the women and men in attendance about her journey from college to the White House, relying on her faith and working hard every step of the way.
The CUA Tower, the student publication on campus, wrote in a piece following the event, “[Giovanna] Coia’s warm personality mixed with her uplifting address served as a great combination for a group of students wanting to learn how to make themselves distinguished in a city that attracts thousands and thousands of prospective employees every year. It is reassuring to see Catholic University alumni are leaving a mark in our nation’s capital in a positive way.”
The Network of enlightened Women first came into contact with Pence when she helped arrange a policy briefing for NeW chapter and professional network leaders with senior White House staffers over the summer. The women from NeW at Catholic University quickly connected with her and started making arrangements for an event in the fall.
NeW at Catholic University leaders and alumna met Pence during the summer White House policy briefing with NeW.
Following her address on campus, Pence took the time to answer personal questions from the women. Before leaving, she invited the NeW at Catholic University executive board members to attend an exclusive event at the White House. Three of those women were able to attend later that week. It was their first time seeing the Presidential Departure.
It was wonderful to see how this relationship led to several impactful events for young conservative women. NeW is pleased to partner with groups and individuals to give our women professional development opportunities.
Best wishes,
Kathryn Alford Communications Manager

Throughout the morning, the women discussed the differences between their schools while at the same time finding common ground about their thankfulness that NeW was on their campus. One woman from The George Washington University shared that she had found a home with her NeW chapter and said "My college experience so far would not be nearly as great without NeW at GW."
