The Women in Business Initiative is so thankful for the donors who supported our crowdfunding project and helped us surpass our goal! We cannot wait for the Fall Retreat and to share our experience next semester.

As the co-director of the Women in Business Initiative with Dean Steve Ott, I send our thanks on behalf of the entire Women in Business community for the funds raised to date - more than $4,000 so far. The Women in Business Initiative is making a difference for undergraduate students and we are grateful for the support we have received.

The crowdfund campaign continues through April 18, so please continue to help us spread the word so that we can surpass the goal and raise additional funds for the fall 2018 retreat. A gift in any amount will help us provide a transformational experience for students who are working to achieve their personal and professional goals. 

To all donors so far, we thank you!

Sincerely, 

Dr. Pat Mynatt

Alumna Julie Harris '00 Finance, Bank of America, and Leticia Foster '12 MBA, Sealed Air Corporation, presented the “The Art of Mentoring” at the Women in Business annual signature event on 4/9. Students were encouraged to seek mentoring relationships in every stage of their career and then had the opportunity to network with alumni and businesses following the presentation.

Thank you to alumni and friends for your generous support in the Women in Business Initiative!

Women in Business Ambassadors have the opportunity to network with successful business professionals at a monthly Coffee Hour. This month, students heard from professionals at TCA Financial Group, Walmart, DATATECH Information Services and Coca-cola Bottling Co. regarding the topic of Managing Work Relationships.

Thank you to all of the alumni and friends who support Women in Business!
