[Biostudent] Upcoming opportunities for students to develop entrepreneurial and leadership skills

[BIOLOGY]

I am writing to share some upcoming opportunities for students interested in developing entrepreneurship and leadership skills, hosted by the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship's new women's entrepreneurial leadership program, WE Lead<https://foster.uw.edu/centers/buerk-ctr-entrepreneurship/womens-entrepreneurial-leadership-program/>. Please share with any potentially interested students - attendees do not have to identify as women to attend, but events will center the experiences of women in professional settings.
