Are you a young woman in the community eager to deepen your understanding of leadership in the business industry? Through connecting with powerful speakers and like-minded peers, the Women in Business Club strives to empower young women to “explore and develop their leadership and entrepreneurial skills,” says Esther Lee ’27, one of the three leaders of the club.
Jacqueline Dunlap ’27, and Olivia Duplessis ’27, and Lee currently lead Women in Business with the support of Ms. Tao, who monitors the meeting and provides additional support for the young leaders. The group has plans with a potential collaboration with SDLC during Women’s History month with a surprise guest speaker.
Women in Business has been a club for several years, during which several women of different ages and backgrounds have come together to pursue their interests in entrepreneurship. The club meets only once a month, providing a very low-commitment, low-stakes opportunity for students to connect and grow without adding too much pressure to members of the group.
Amanda Nwachukwu ’27 shared that she joined the group because “the leaders and club members were enthusiastic to invite new members to their next meeting.” Nwachukwu highlighted her love for the community. Nwachukwu encourages other students to join this club because not only is it fun, but students will learn a lot about business dynamics.
A common misconception about Women in Business is that it’s
exclusive to girls only. The club opens its arms to anyone eager to learn about business or discovering an unknown passion.
