Happy Sunday!
Thank you for joining us last week for our first meeting of the year! We hope you enjoyed learning about WiB and all the exciting things we have planned for this year. We cannot wait to get started!
As a reminder, our next meeting will be held tomorrow, Monday, September 18th at 7pm in Flavin Auditorium. This meeting will be led by female representatives from the Big Four accounting firm, EY. These incredible representatives will be telling us all about EY and what working there is all about. They will be sharing their first-hand experiences as women in business along with some exciting opportunities that you can apply to! If you are interested in learning more, please join us tomorrow. They have been kind enough to provide pizza, so come hungry!
