The Boehly Center is proud to present the club, SWS/WIB, the merger of Smart Woman Securities and Women In Business. SWS/WIB promotes confidence, exploration, and drive in undergraduate business students. There is much to be gained from the mentoring advice, insight, and discussions that occur in a supportive and cooperative setting. The club provides a supportive and welcoming environment for education at an introductory level. Students can meet and mentor one another as they learn about the courses available to them in the Raymond A. Mason School, in addition to interview and internship advice and preparation.
The most significant events are the Annual Women’s Stock Pitch and 10-week Seminar Series. The Women’s Stock Pitch selects individuals to form a team and compete with top universities for cash prizes. The event encourages collaboration among disciplines and brings together students and professionals who will share their skills, knowledge, and expertise in developing the next generation of leaders. The 10-week Seminar Series provides an opportunity to get into organized research teams and receive an investment fund that gives the students of William & Mary practical and hands-on experience with investing.
Additionally, it is a valuable outlet where students can meet alumni they can connect with on a deeper level. SWS/WIB hosts an annual panel at From DoG Street to Wall Street and invites 2 to 3 professionals each semester to speak to both male and female students.
The faculty advisor for SWS/WIB is Professor Osman Nal.
Please contact Mairead Stack and Uma Datar for more information.
