AWIB'S activities
Recruiting the Next Generation of Women Leaders at Fuqua
We host an annual Weekend for Women for prospective students, as well as create Women's programming during admitted students Blue Devil Weekend.
Developing a Community for Women within Fuqua
We connect students through creating programming such as "Dinner with Six Strangers" to provide opportunities for women to build ties with each other.
Promoting Health and Wellness
We find fun and unique ways to stay healthy and engage with our community by planning events like "Goat Yoga at Hux Family Farm" and "Sync Studio Spin Class."
Helping Women at Fuqua Achieve Their Professional Aspirations
We consistently have a full calendar of events in collaboration with employers searching for female talent. We connect women at Fuqua with recruiters who support female talent.
Leading Conversations in the Fuqua Community about Women in Business
We have established meaningful ways for male allies to engage with AWIB through a variety of events, including hosting a Male Ambassador Program-led discussion of the gender climate at Fuqua.
