Organization Station: Women in Business

Women in Business (WIB) began in October 1997 under the direction of Jocelyn Bennett, Coordinator of Minority Affairs within the Smeal College of Business Administration.  During the spring semester of 1998, WIB received its official charter from the University.  Starting out with just a membership of seven (the entire executive board), WIB has grown enormously over the past nine years, and now boasts over 300 members. Throughout the years, WIB has defined four pillars of the organization: Leadership, Community Service, Networking, and Professional Development. Currently, WIB welcomes both male and female undergraduate students of all majors into the organization.

WIB is a general Smeal Organization that mission is to  increase the recruitment and retention of women students in the Smeal College and to create an environment in which the women of the Smeal College can come together to discuss personal and professional issues pertinent to women in the corporate world.  To find out more about WIB and learn how to join, visit their website at  http://pennstatewib.weebly.com/ .
