A Note from Erin…

I hope you’re all enjoying a wonderful summer and taking some time to relax and recharge. As we move through August, I wanted to remind everyone to keep an eye on our newsletters for exciting updates and opportunities. Check out our new section “Additional Opportunities to Engage in the Community” at the end!

Don’t miss out on our upcoming Summer Soiree, a networking opportunity designed to help you succeed both personally and professionally. I hope to see you there!

Recognition as Top Networking Event Host: We are proud to announce that Success in Education Foundation (the parent foundation for the Women Who Succeed program) was recognized as one of the Top 7 Networking Events host in the state by Utah Business magazine!

Membership

As we talked about in last month’s newsletter, networking is incredibly important. A Forbes article from June 2023 shared that over 80% of women use networking to secure paid board seats, c-suite positions, and negotiate for higher pay. More than 70% have used it to achieve organizational goals such as winning new business and leading successful projects.We understand that attending in-person events isn’t always possible, which is why we’re excited to launch our first LinkedIn group! This group will provide ongoing support, networking opportunities, and resources for our members and mentees. Join the group to stay connected, share experiences, and continue building valuable relationships.

Join our LinkedIn Group!

Ways to Engage

We will be putting together a committee of members to help with a pre-holiday on-line auction to help support the WWS program. We need your help to put together trendy, giftable, high-quality items and experiences.  We plan to host this event in late October and are looking for items, from jewelry and artwork to services and vacation rentals, that would be perfect for someone on your holiday list. It is overwhelming work for few, but light work for many. We want this to be exciting and something that can become a tradition for WWS. If you would like to help with or donate to this project, please email amyb@sieutah.org for more details.

Mentee Highlight

Jennifer Aguilar | Study Abroad

We are thrilled to introduce Jennifer Aguilar, a dedicated mentee who has been making incredible strides in her academic journey. Jennifer has been studying abroad, and her story is nothing short of inspiring. Read her story below to learn more about her experiences, challenges, and the growth she has achieved through her time abroad.”Hello, my name is Jennifer Aguilar and I spent four weeks studying abroad in Kenya for my Honors Integrated Minor in Ecology & Legacy! I completed two honors courses, conservation & land management and comparative ecology at the Mpala Research Centre. My favorite part of the study abroad was not only hiking mount Kenya, but experiencing Kenyan culture and landscape with 15 other like minded students! We also had game drives almost everyday seeing elephants, giraffes, zebras, lions, and so much more. If you want to see more about my experience, check out the @uofuhonorscollege on instagram and press on the “E&L” highlight!”
