Field Trip: University of Washington on Friday, February 12 from 9:30 am to 3:15 pm
Undergraduate Women in Business (UWiB) is a organization at the University of Washington that is a part of The Foster School of Business. The mission of UWiB is to strive towards advancing the continued progress of women in business through educating and encouraging their individual development as business professionals, and assist in the exploration of multiple career opportunities. UWiB seeks to promote greater awareness and understanding of ongoing issues and challenges that women presently face in business, while providing professional relationships with female business leaders for the undergraduate community.
As UWiB and Issaquah Women in Business are very connected, I (Grace Chen) and the leaders of UWiB have planned a day where our two clubs will join together and network. The members of UWiB who are all young women in the Foster School of Business at UW, will give us a tour of the UW campus and have lunch with us. They have planned a presentation on "Selling Yourself" given by Ria Vaziralli who is a representative from the company FritoLay. Also, there will be a Q&A session that will take place between us and some members of UWiB so we can learn more about what it is like being a business student, if they like Foster, high school tips, and much more.
We wil be leaving at 9:30 so you will still be able to attend 1st and 2nd period but will miss periods 3-6 as we won't get back until around 3:15. This will be an excused abcense but it would still be good to talk to your teachers before hand and outline exactly what you will be missing in class.
To attend this field trip, it will cost $10. This is to cover the cost of transportation from Seattle and back and lunch, which will be provided (Jimmy Johns, MOD, or something like that - TBD).
By RSVPing "Yes" to this event, you are saying that you do agree to pay this $10 fee for the field trip and you give WiB permission to charge it to your studennt account. This will work the same way as the visors and all you have to do is give me your permission and then the book keeper, Ms. Pfeifle, will charge your student account. From there, you can pay the book keeper in person at her window or pay online anytime convenient for you.
If you didn't get a field trip form yet but would like to attend, please let me know ASAP as I only have a certain amount of people I can take so the sooner you talk to me the higher your priority.
Please turn your signed field trip form into me, Aashi Jhawar or our adviser, Mr. Shanafelt, by Monday, January 25th... It's essential that we get everyones' forms in a timely manner so we are able to proceed with further paper work.
If you need a field trip form, find me or Aashi Jhawar anytime during school and we will most likely have some on us. Mr. Shanafelt will also probably have some too, but if he doesn't, he will be able to direct you to me or Aashi. You can find Mr. Shanafelt in room 1603.
ALSO, if you know anyone who might be interested in also attending this field but is not a member of WiB, please let me know and we can work something out! Anyone is welcome.
More logistical details soon.
