The HBA program is often students' first time being in an intensive, career-focused environment. Our goal is to provide students with the support and network for their time in the HBA program and beyond by connecting them with WIM mentors, alumni, and partners to allow them to explore meaningful career paths from diverse industries.”

My experience with WIM in my HBA1 year not only allowed me to explore different industries, but also meet women that I could identify with. I loved hearing about their career paths, challenges that they faced, and getting their advice. From my perspective, WIM is a great place for personal growth via learning from professionals and your peers.”
