Applications are now open for the Women in Business Signature Event: The Power of Connections

We are happy to announce that applications are now open for the Women in Business Signature Event: The Power of Connections. On February 1, 2019, the Belk College will host company partners, selected students, and alumni for a half- day, conference- style event in uptown Charlotte.  Accepted students will have their registration fee covered and will enjoy lunch with company representatives, a keynote address by a successful alumnae, break- out sessions on important topics for today’s workplace, and a networking reception. Companies participating in recent Women in Business events include Bank of America, Brighthouse Financial, Coca Cola Bottling Company, Grant Thornton, KPMG, MetLife, PWC, Red Ventures, Sealed Air, Wells Fargo, and more.  As an event applicant, you will also be considered for a Spring 2019 scholarship.  Scholarship awards will be made based on responses to the essay prompt included in the application. Essay responses are limited to 100 words, which is shorter than this post! Additional application questions will be used to determine your availability on the day of the event and to build a professional biography that we can share with the professionals in attendance, which adds another layer of networking to this opportunity for you. We anticipate that the application in its entirety should take you less than 1 hour. Applications will be open until December 14. Please reach out to womeninbusiness@uncc.edu if you have any questions!
