Happy Sunday!

Thank you again to all who joined us on Tuesday 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. It was fantastic!

As a reminder, our next meeting will be held tomorrow Monday, April 22nd at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium. This meeting will be all about personal finance put on by the Smart Women Securities Club! SWS is a club on campus whose mission is to educate undergraduate women on finance and investments! Their presentation will include some incredibly valuable advice on how to set yourself up for success financially. All are welcome to join, regardless of what your current familiarity with finance is!

We also will be live streaming this meeting on Zoom for virtual viewers to attend at the following link:
