This Tuesday, WiB hosted an incredible Alumni Panel featuring Sarah, Jamie, and Himanshi. We learned much from our panelists' insights on navigating workplaces and industries that have historically lacked female representation, and discussed strategies for making your voice heard, building confidence in male-dominated environments, and increasing female presence in professional spaces.
Some key takeaways from their advices:
1. Make the most of your Hopkins academic experience by actively engaging with professors and seeking out their real-world expertise whether through casual conversations, working as their TA, or taking their courses.
2. How you carry yourself makes a difference, so speak with confidence!
3. Be flexible. Build fast and fail fast so you can learn where to pivot and how to grow next.
Thank you to our wonderful alumni!
This Tuesday, Women in Business hosted a successful donut fundraiser to support club operations, strengthen member community, and offer hands-on business experience. Our marketing committee led the promotional campaign, while the finance committee managed budgeting and logistics. WiB members from across the club volunteered throughout the event, and we sold out in less than two hours. Thank you to everyone who contributed to making this fundraiser a huge success.
Women in Business kicked off the year with our first social event, initiation night, welcoming our newest members! Informally known as “Mocktail Night,” the event celebrated both our new cohort and the formation of this year’s WiB families. Members played brain-teaser team games, enjoyed mocktails and charcuterie, and wrapped up the evening with a final reveal where each new member met their Big and discovered their fellow Littles. We loved seeing everyone come together and have fun!
This Saturday, WiB held a professional photoshoot where every member received an individual headshot, and we also took group photos for the entire club, committee photos for our Finance, Research, Case Competition, and Marketing committees, and group photos for the Executive Board. Everyone looked fantastic, and we can’t wait to share these photos across our platforms!
This Tuesday WiB met with alumni who work in the field of consulting and finance. Thank you to our panelists Kelly, Sarah, Malika and Shilpa - it was incredible to hear about the experiences from these lovely ladies!
Some key takeaways from their advices are: 1) Try to take advantage of your time at Hopkins and make as many as memories and experiences you can. 2) Don't be afraid to network and ask questions about their working experiences. People love talking about themselves! 3) Going into finance and consulting may seem scary, but in the end you will find a place where you belong.
This Sunday, Women in Business held a successful resume workshop for Pi Phi and other sororities at Hopkins. After Daphne and Ritika gave an overview of good resume practices, we divided into breakout rooms where GBM members and executives gave feedback on sisters' resumes and went over good and bad resumes together.
Thank you for all of you who came and led the conversations in breakout rooms! We hope this was a great opportunity for you all to learn thoroughly about resume writing and develop your leadership skills.
Also, thank you for everyone who came to the workshop and were willing to share your resumes with us! We know that drafting resumes can be challenging, so we hope this was a wonderful chance for you to get tips and advices. We will continue to be here for those of you who aspire to become businesswomen, so feel free to reach out for help or ask any questions (regardless of your member status) :)
This Tuesday, Women in Business had an upperclassmen panel event on how to find internships and career opportunities! Our amazing panelists - Talyor, Katherine, Stephanie - shared with us how they found their path in their current industries and secured internships. We hope you all learned a lot from their stories, and feel free to keep in touch with our upperclassmen panelists (contacts in email) :) See you tomorrow in our third GBM x Pi Phi!
This Tuesday, JHU Women in Business had the first GBM for the Spring 2022 semester! We had a fun night of trivia where we got to answer questions about our members as well as various industries in business.
Thanks to everyone who came, it was great to see old and new faces! See you all next Tuesday in our second GBM - 'Upperclassmen Networking: How to Find an Internship!'
