I am excited to share with you that the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship is introducing a new program promoting the advancement of women as entrepreneurs, leaders, investors, and agents of innovation –
<a href="https://foster.uw.edu/centers/buerk-ctr-entrepreneurship/womens-entrepreneurial-leadership-program/">
WE Lead</a>. Entrepreneurial students from <b>any major</b> will have support and scaffolding to grow and develop into confident, inclusive leaders. WE Lead welcomes students of any gender, and will feature workshops, panels, mentoring, and other events that
center the experiences of women in entrepreneurship and leadership settings. <o:p>
</o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">There is no application to join WE Lead, or to participate in
<a href="https://urldefense.com/v3/__https:/washington.startuptree.co/discover/events?is_global=2&tags=welead__;!!K-Hz7m0Vt54!jF2T3BInwmIrxkIB_RWhCoSpDNGVM2GqVSoubiOGD3cH8XN3BltnybfKUlFqza8BboiNUc9YfTy4Qi5QoOCogxU2$">
events</a>. We’re here to help students as they develop their entrepreneurial and leadership toolkit, and believe the more time they put in, the more they’ll get out! If you, or any students have further questions, please reach out to me at any time.
