Happy Wednesday!
We hope you enjoyed the long weekend, and if you were able to, thank you for joining us last night for our external event with Liberty Mutual's Alyssa Nogueira! She led us through an exercise to test our current mindsets and shared some helpful tips for how to develop a growth mindset in school, our future careers, and our personal lives. Thanks, Alyssa!
As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on Monday, April 22nd at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium. This meeting will be all about personal finance put on by the Smart Women Securities Club!
