Mission
Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business (WIB) seeks to empower a dynamic group of enterprising young women by uniting them through business education and experience.
WIB offers a unique opportunity for undergraduate women at Harvard to expand and sharpen their knowledge of business opportunities, giving them the skills they will need to become future leaders in the corporate world. Serving the entire female Harvard undergraduate population, WIB is overseen by an executive board and seven committees. Through panels, conferences, outreach initiatives, skill-building workshops, leadership projects, mentorship programs, philanthropic initiatives and social events, WIB seeks to expose undergraduate women to a variety of business careers.
WIB's unique blend of professionalism, pragmatism, and entrepreneurial spirit allows us to develop programs that are informative, effective, and diverse. Over the years, we have cultivated close relationships with many organizations in different sectors of the business world, including investment banking, consulting, financial services, software technology, entrepreneurship, and marketing, as well as Harvard Business School and the 85 Broads Network.
Membership in WIB requires completion of the "WIBternship" in which prospective members attend informational business panels and collaborate on skill-building projects. Associates enjoy the opportunity to gain a variety of management and organizational skill sets, from finance and development to marketing, design, and production.
Much of WIB;s success comes from the creativity and dedication of its members who are constantly seeking to expand the organization's influence both on campus and off. Through established events such as the Intercollegiate Business Convention, HBS Day, and outreach trips, as well as new ones which include a conference for high school girls, WIB seeks to broaden its reach and influence, sharing our ideals nationwide while staying true to our ultimate mission of empowering young women to pursue careers in business.
