As a reminder, our next meeting will be held on Monday, April 29th at 7pm in Mahar Auditorium. We will be having a panel of women in finance, led by one of our co-fundraising directors Abbey Berry, and finance professor Sara Smiarowski! This panel will discuss different career paths within the ever-evolving finance industry! This is an exciting opportunity to hear real industry experts dive into their own career experiences and how they navigated changes over time. These amazing women are sure to share valuable advice for all, not just those interested in finance! We will also be joined by a Lacroix campus-rep who will be handing out some samples!
