Summer incoming... 🏖 ☀
We are so excited to have wrapped up another incredible year with our amazing Wibbies! Whether it was your first year, your last, or somewhere in between, we are so thankful to have been a part of your college journey this year.
Looking back on the last three quarters, we've accomplished so much with our members this year and we'd love to quickly recap what we've been up to:
🍁 Fall Quarter:
We had LOTS of new wibbies joining to kick off the new school year! To give our new members a taste of what the business world looks like, we hosted a bunch of introductory professional development workshops (resume building, networking, etc.). Of course, our members were also able to meet each other and make new friends from social bonding events like sunset yoga and tote bag painting!
❄ Winter Quarter
Through many weeks of planning and reaching out to speakers, our main objective for winter quarter was to host industry specific spotlights for different industries that our members expressed interest in. We hosted about 30 speakers over the course of the quarter, and we loved networking and meeting so many incredible professionals that were so kind to share their insights and experiences. Additionally, we launched our mentorship program, where experienced Wibbies matched up with other Wibbies seeking professional mentorship.
🌸 Spring Quarter
Last but not least, this spring quarter we launched our first ever quarter-long Case Project (55+ signups, 25 total teams!) to give our members more hands on experience with business frameworks. Outside of this, we hosted more professional development opportunities through panels, workshops, DEI initiatives and more. Lastly, we recently hosted our EOY Banquet, where our incredible presidents Samantha McCue and Lauren Roush officially handed off the torch to the amazing Melany Mihai and Lena Chen, who will be leading WIB next year.
Although it is definitely bittersweet to have to say goodbye to a year full of growth and learning, we are more than ecstatic to continue sharing what we'll be getting up to next year when the time comes! Thank you to all of our members who have been so engaged throughout the whole year and have really made WIB into the unbelievable, supportive community that it is today. 💖
🥂 Congratulations to our graduating Wibbies, we are so proud of you all and excited to see what you get up to as you enter the next chapter of your life! And to all of our returning or prospective members, have an AMAZING summer and we can't wait to see you in the fall!
Love,
2023-24 WIB Board ❤️
