Wednesday's Got Better for Women
This past Wednesday, the Women's Advancement Initiative brought Women's Wednesday's back to campus for the last time this semester. This event gives students a great opportunity to make friends and talk about topics that will help them in their adult lives.
Students now have an opportunity to speak up and ask questions about anything involving finance, insurance, and budgeting thanks to Women's Wednesdays.
Assistant to Director for Women's Advancement Initiative, Shannon Mumley, said that some students on campus may be afraid to talk about such topics so she is hoping they take advantage of these events so they are career ready after they graduate.
This event takes place in the outside reading room behind Hillyer twice a semester from 12:15 PM-1:15 PM. Students are asked to bring a bagged lunch to these events. The bagged lunch environment provides the students will the comfort of being there and listening to the speakers who come in that day.
Information that students may not be thinking about yet, but should take in consideration will also be talked about. For example, life insurance and investments for retirement.
