Celebrating IWIL Support in Action
Thanks to the generosity of our IWIL Members, we presented the inaugural IWIL Awards to six HBA1 students in Fall 2024, and to two MBA students in March 2025. Through the support of this exceptional group of alumni and friends, these young women have been given a head start on their leadership journeys.
Watch the video below to hear from the HBA students about the impact of receiving the IWIL Award.
