Storm the “bored” room and put your mark on the next generation of business innovation!

If picturing a career in finance or accounting bores you to tears, consider this eye-opening fact: the language of business now drives success in EVERY industry including the arts, public service, media and entertainment, publishing and even in not-for-profit enterprises.

Come explore how business knowledge can enhance your academic background, professional ambitions, and social or service interests, and help you segue into an exciting and opportunity-rich career. Through Career Lab’s industry panels, networking sessions, and interactive workshops, accomplished women from Forté Foundation sponsor companies and schools reveal the new world of business and help you envision your role in it.  Regardless of major, all undergraduate women with an interest in business will benefit from their insights.
