On October 28th, members of the WMBA and WIB (Women in Business – Smeal’s Undergraduate Women’s Association) were given the opportunity to participate in a Live Stream Event with Sheryl Sandberg, the author of the highly-talked about book Lean In. In this event, Sheryl spoke about the perceptual differences between men and women in the workplace, her personal story and what we can do to change these perceptual differences. Overall, this event was a great way to spark the “Lean In” conversation here at Smeal! The WMBA hopes to continue this conversation by encouraging everyone to read Sheryl’s book and hosting a book discussion post Winter break.
