Happy Wednesday!
Thank you all for joining us in welcoming Veeva Systems this past Monday! We would like to thank campus recruiter, Tom Ferrer and recent UMass grad, Emily Kenyon, for providing their insight about building your personal brand through the prospective of a recruiter! We hope you enjoyed learning more about this point-of-view, and can apply some of the tools they shared during your future interviews. To learn more about Veeva Systems, specifically Generation Veeva, their recent graduate program, visit this link or connect with Tom! You can also check out their presentation, which contains more specific information and links.
Our next meeting will be held on Monday, April 10th at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium and will be led by our fabulous Treasurer, Gina Zarcone! Gina's presentation will be focused on female empowerment, centered around the question: Can women have it all? She will be discussing the role of females in our predominantly male driven society in order to answer this question. This conversation will go hand in hand to the next episode of our "Out of Office (with WiB)" podcast which will be available next week. This meeting will be very powerful and informative, 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:
