Penn State Women In Business

Penn State Women in Business was founded in 1997 and is a professional development organization at the Smeal College of Business. We accept all students and provide them with opportunities to connect with professionals through our events and network. Find out more information about our organization on our website. We operate under our four pillars: leadership, community service, networking, and professional development. Women in Business encourages all of our members to pursue leadership positions, for we know that we are a group of leaders of tomorrow. We hold ourselves to the highest academic, professional, and ethical standards to ensure quality leadership. WIB works to give back to the State College community through local philanthropic activities, participation in THON, and engaging with the community’s youth through WIB’s annual development workshop and gala event, The Power of Us. Networking works to make a large university and larger corporate world more manageable for our members. We provide the opportunity for members to network with other students, Smeal faculty, the local community, and corporate partners. The Executive Board creates a plethora of opportunities for members to learn and develop professional skills through corporate events hosted by Women in Business. Communicating with corporate sponsors has led to internship opportunities and has fostered mentorship.
