Happy Wednesday!

Thank you for joining us on Monday for our meeting with wonderful WiB alumni Leigh Loughlin of LEGO! Leigh spoke about her experience in the world of e-commerce, as well as her journey through various careers. It was inspiring to hear about the different paths to success and how there is no one right way to get where you want to go. She also gave out some pretty incredible LEGO sets. Thank you, Leigh!

We will instead be hosting an external event with Liberty Mutual called "Developing a Growth Mindset" on Tuesday, April 16th at 6:30 pm in Isenberg 108. Our next general body meeting will be "Personal Finance with SWS" on Monday, April 22nd at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium.
