I am writing to share some upcoming opportunities for students interested in developing entrepreneurship and leadership skills, hosted by the Buerk Center for Entrepreneurship's WE Lead<https://foster.uw.edu/centers/buerk-ctr-entrepreneurship/womens-entrepreneurial-leadership-program/> program. Attendees do not have to identify as women to attend, but events will center the experiences of women in professional settings. Please let me know if you have any questions!
