Centered on the theme of Reignite and Reconnect, WiLC 2021 aims to uplift and amplify the unique strengths that women bring to the business world. The virtual and in-person conference will be a space for women to learn how to harness their distinct strengths to truly flourish—at business school, in the workplace, and beyond. WiLC 2021 will include authentic and inspirational programming from a diverse set of women who are not afraid to speak plainly about their experiences in all facets of life.
WiLC is open to prospective students, current students, alumni, faculty, and allies. We are excited to guide this year's conference, and we invite you to join us for a day centered on authentic stories!
