LAST Speaker Meeting of the YEAR!

Hello hello everyone! I want to invite you all to the last WIB speaker meeting of the 2008-2009 school year. The semester sure has gone by quickly and the 60-70 degree days certainly have been making it harder to focus on school (especially if you are a senior)! But there is still one more great WIB speaker meeting to attend:

Wednesday, April 22, 2009 from 12-1 pm in Hanson Hall 1-103 -- Beth Smits, VP of Service Operations -- Best Buy

Beth Smits, VP of Service Operations at Best Buy, will be coming to discuss Best Buy's WOLF Program. WOLF stands for WOmen's Leadership Forum and is a group at Best Buy that helps build strong female leaders at the company. Check them out on Facebook (WOLFinspires).

Also at the last speaker meeting, the 2009-2010 WIB Executive Board will be introduced! Lunch will be provided (MESA pizza). I hope to see you there!

1st meeting of the semester! HMH 1-103

Our first WIB speaker of the semester will be Accenture on Wednesday, January 28th from Noon-1pm. Our room for the semester has changed and we are now in HMH 1-103! Accenture will be discussing International Business! I can't wait to see all of you there!

It's hard to believe that the semester is already winding down. Our last WIB speaker of the semester is tomorrow, Wells Fargo, and after that a month off! It'll be a great time to refresh, rejuvenate, and come back in full swing for second semester. Thank you to everyone for their help in making this semester such a successful one for WIB!

Feel like you're waiting for the world?

...And We're Off !!

Welcome to a new school year and a new and exciting year for Women in Business! WIB has multiple kick off events planned this year that are sure to be a lot of fun. Check out our calendar of events for dates to not only learn about WIB but also to get some great food (always a plus)!

One great thing about these events is that you will meet the Executive Board members. Yes, I may be a biased source but I'm very proud of all the planning the WIB E-Board has done over the summer to make this school year a SPECTACULAR one for WIB. These are an amazing bunch of young women and I can assure any potential member of WIB that everyone on the E-Board dedicates a great deal of time to make WIB a positive experience for you.

There are so many ways to get involved with WIB, whether it be attending speaker meetings, volunteering on a commitee, attending social or networking events, or even becoming part of the E-Board as a Freshman Representative. I can happily say that joining WIB was one of the best decisions I could have made during my early years at the U. I've met so many great people, students and professionals alike and have heard some amazing speakers. Coming from a small town, WIB has also allowed me to bring the U down to a more managable size. Now I see faces I know everywhere!

So, come join WIB for one of our upcoming events. WIB has a lot to offer and is sure to be a great experience! I hope to see many new and returning faces to WIB this year!
