Happy Wednesday!

Thank you all for joining us on Monday to hear from our co-marketing directors Abby Morse and Sophia Trischitta about "Making UMass Your Own!" They did AMAZING and we hope you learned some valuable tips and discovered some of the best resources and hidden gems that UMass has to offer no matter if you're a freshman or a senior. Thank you, Abby and Sophia <3!

As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on Monday, November 20th at 7 pm in Flavin Auditorium. Our next meeting will be led by our Co-Social Events Director Camryn Buonacore as she hosts the rising phone case company Swaponz! Camryn will tell us all about what it was like interning at this start-up and she has invited the CEO to tell us about his experience starting his own business! Don't miss the chance to hear about these unique experiences and WiB's launch of their very own Swaps that will be available for purchase starting on Monday!
