CWIB Fall 2019 Preview


Hey CWIB! I hope your summers have been fun and productive and you’re enjoying what is left of them! With the fall semester rapidly approaching, it’s almost time to return to classes, but it also means we’ll get to catch up with our CWIB friends and start a new semester off strong! Whether you’ve been interning, working, volunteering, traveling, or pursuing something else this summer, we hope you’ve learned a lot and are excited to leverage that experience. The beginning of the fall semester is packed with events that CWIB encourages you to participate in. Here is a preview of upcoming CWIB events so you can mark your calendars and not miss out!


First up is Pamplin Picnic, happening on August 30th which is the Friday of our first week back in classes. The picnic is from 4 to 6 pm on the Holtzman Alumni Lawn and you are all invited to enjoy food, music, and games (for free) to kick off the semester with Pamplin! Stop by the CWIB booth and visit the leadership team at the event to hear how our organization makes an impact not only within Pamplin, but also throughout the Virginia Tech community.

On Wednesday, September 4th, CWIB is hosting its first workshop of the semester with Protiviti! The topic of the workshop is Business Horizons 101 and representatives from Protiviti will discuss resume building and elevator speeches. Many CWIB alumni, including the co-founder of CWIB at Virginia Tech, work for Protiviti, so it is a great company to build connections with through CWIB! Come out and get valuable Business Horizons tips from an employer’s perspective before Business Horizons the following day (September 5th from 10 am – 4 pm). Plus, food from Jimmy Johns will be provided by Protiviti at the workshop. Speaking of Business Horizons, click on the link above to view the attending companies and start planning which ones you want to connect with this year!



The busy week continues after Business Horizons with Gobblerfest on Friday, September 6th from 4 to 7 pm on the Drillfield. Stop by and visit the CWIB booth to gain more information on all we have planned this year, get to know members, and be inspired from your leadership team! Bring your friends too; we are so excited to meet future members!


On September 9th and 10th, CWIB is holding new member information sessions at 6 pm (location is still TBA). Come out if you’re a new member looking to join or tell your friends if they are interested in joining CWIB! That same week, the NYC Women in Business trek is happening from September 12th through 13th, so look out for more details to come on that, as well as information on other treks to take place this semester.


Our first monthly meeting of the semester is on Wednesday, October 2nd at 7 pm in NCB 260. Mark your calendars and come out to the first monthly meeting to reconnect with CWIB friends and hear from the new leadership team about what is in store for the fall semester! Our “Welcome Back” newsletter will be sent out next Monday, August 19th, outlining other important information, so be sure to give it a read!


Mark your calendars for our first monthly meeting of 2019! October 2nd at 7pm in NCB 260.

We can’t wait to see you all at these events this semester and hope you’re excited as well!
