Hi everyone!
Thank you to everyone who came to Monday's meeting, hosted by our Co-Presidents Jenna and Dasha! They presented a meeting on how to start the semester off with a bang and gain confidence! We know being a college student comes with a busy schedule and can get overwhelming. As always, please reach out to Jenna (@jennamidura) or Dasha (@days.with.dasha) if you have any questions or just want to chat!
Join us next Monday, February 7th, at 7pm in Isenberg 137 (Flavin Auditorium), where our E-Board member Caroline Tierney will be teaming up with Kim Figueroa, our WiB Advisor, to give a presentation of tips on how to have a meaningful internship and job search process! Please come with your laptop or pen and paper.
We will be live streaming on Zoom for our virtual members to attend:
