Happy Sunday!
Thank you again for joining us on Monday to hear from the CEO of cell phone case company Swaponz, Steven Bock, about his experience starting his own business and from our Co-Social Events Director Camryn Buonacore about what it was like interning at a start-up! If you missed the meeting, we launched our very own Women in Business Swaps! If interested, fill out this form.
We hope you all had a wonderful break, but get excited because our next meeting will be held tomorrow, Monday, November 29th at 7 pm in Flavin Auditorium. Our next meeting will be a game night in collaboration with the IDEA Council (Isenberg Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access Advisory Council)! This meeting will be a great way to learn more about promoting diversity within Isenberg and to meet some new people during a fun game of bingo, so don't miss it.
Bingo night will not be live-streamed, so see you in Flavin!
