About Us
About Women in Finance
Women in Finance (WiFi) was established in Fall 2018. Since its creation, it has grown and become one of 33 Student Professional Organizations (SPOs) at the Fox School of Business.
WiFi members range from freshman to senior female students, with a variety of majors, including finance, accounting, management information systems, risk management, and financial planning.
​
WiFi intends to encourage professional development of our members and enhance opportunities for women in financial services majors. It seeks to expose young women to various career paths by holding student-run workshops and hosting female industry leaders to speak about their experiences in all business industries. Through attending weekly meetings, networking with other members and students, and developing necessary real-world techniques and/or skills, members can become confident and prepared for future careers.

Meetings are held every Friday from 12pm - 12:50pm in Alter Hall Room 606. Some meetings may be virtual but all information will be communicated to members.

Visit the Events page for a calendar schedule of events.
​
The first few minutes of each meeting are reserved for a current events review of the week. Members should be prepared with a topic of discussion, article, or occurrence to participate. This is part of WiFi's initiative to help members become aware of and have a solid understanding of the (business) world. The meeting continues either into a speaker presentation or a professional development workshop/activity.
