Female college students to shadow local businesswomen

Posted online
Local businesswomen are pairing up with area female college students to show them the ropes of life in the professional world.

Drury University’s Students in Free Enterprise organization is leading the program, called Women Inspiring Student Entrepreneurs. The program will be launched at a banquet at 6:30 tonight in Freeman Hall on the Drury campus. Jill Wiggins, director of Drury’s Career Center, will be the keynote speaker.

Enrollment in the program – 50 students – is double what it was last year and includes students from Drury, Ozarks Technical Community College and Missouri State University. Participants will shadow businesswomen for a day to get a glimpse of life after college and gain a better understanding of different careers.

“It is great that we, as a SIFE team, can help them make connections that will play a crucial role in their future careers,” said project leader Carrie Winston in a news release.[[In-content Ad]]
