The WIT Crowd | 01/29/2020

Happy new year everyone! Whether you celebrated a month ago or last weekend, we hope you were able to share the love and camaraderie with your family and friends.

Around this time of year, many of us make goals. We revisit the path we’ve tread and look ahead to the future.

I hope that your goals include engaging with the UMN WIT community by attending events to meet other awesome members, participating in the mentorship program to help or be helped with professional and life goals, or volunteering to serve on a committee or in a board position.

We are always open to having more people be a part of the core group setting direction and putting together programs and events. Please email [email protected] if you are interested and available!

Let's Do This

Something to Do

  • Speed Mentoring: In this interactive session, we'll talk about the value that anyone can give as a mentor or mentee.

  • Big Ten Academic Alliance (BTAA) virtual conference, “Leadership in a Culture of Constant Change”
    February 7, 12-3 p.m., Reserve your spot at one of the UMN viewing party locations.
  • Palentines Day Dinner: There are many issues that those who identify as women face in the workplace. Have you wanted to discuss any of them but were too nervous to bring it up in front of a larger group? The Women in Technology group is excited to bring you an after-hours event where we can take a deep dive into the topics that YOU want to discuss! Please fill out this form to help us in setting up the final details so that we can ensure small groups and great conversations.
