Happy Sunday!
We hope you all had a successful first week back from Spring Break, and are enjoying your weekend! We would like to extend our congratulations to the Women of Isenberg (WOI) planning committee for putting on such a wonderful event this past Saturday! If you were able to attend this event, we hope you enjoyed it as much as we did.
As a reminder, our next meeting will be held tomorrow, Monday, March 27th at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium. To celebrate Women's History Month, we will be hosting a panel of female Isenberg professors! There will be professors from several Isenberg majors, and they will be discussing everything from their prior professional experience to their current involvement at Isenberg. This meeting will be a great way to learn more about different majors, and to get to know some of your favorite professors. These professors have some great advice to share, so we hope to see you there!
We also will be live streaming this meeting on Zoom for virtual viewers to attend at the following link:
