Whitman Alumnae Lunch with Whitman Women in Business
Goldman Sachs, one of the world’s leading financial institutions, hosted the Whitman Women in Business (WWiB) on April 15th in New York City. Nineteen members of the student organization traveled to NYC to learn about working at Goldman Sachs, network with women business leaders and visit the firm’s headquarters. The group kicked off the day with an Advance Networking Skills Workshop offered by executive career coaching firm SixFigureStart, followed by a Whitman Alumnae networking lunch in NYC’s Financial District. This extraordinary opportunity was made possible by Allison Weingarten ’01 BS, Vice President of Commodities Operations.
Whitman seeks to attract a diverse student body, and this summer will participate with the American Association of University Women (AAUW) in AAUW’s Graduate School Fair being held in conjunction with its National Conference for College Women Student Leaders (NCCWSL) .
