This year at the Women in Business Conference, we are ~shaking~ things up! Out with the old and in with the new. \u00a0 We\u2019ve transformed our keynote address into a keynote interview and to celebrate the evolution of the Conference, we\u2019ve interviewed four students from four different majors. They have shared their insights into the Conference and gave some of the biggest tips they\u2019ve learned over the years! Be sure to read up about their experiences and sign up for the Conference at holycross.edu\/business\/wib<\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n

TESS ANDREKUS\"\"<\/a> ’18<\/strong>
\nSociology Major<\/p>\n

Q: How did you hear about the Women in Business conference?<\/em>
\nMy mom is an alumnae (Moira Garvey ’78), and she actually brought me to a Women in Business conference back when I was only 11 years old. I got to go to some of the panels and I was hooked. Then once I got into HC, I made sure to sign up for the Prebusiness program so that I could keep an eye out for the conference each year.<\/div>\n
\n

Q: What year did you attend?<\/em>
\nI\u2019ve attended every year that I\u2019ve been at HC, so that would be 2014, 2015, and 2016. Plus the time when I was 11!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Q: What was your favorite part of the conference?<\/em>
\nI\u2019ve really enjoyed when the alumni at the table engage with us students and try to figure out what helpful advice, tip and tricks they can give us. They have insight that is super helpful.<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
<\/div>\n
\n

Q: What was one lasting connection you made at the conference?<\/em>
\nI have made sure to talk to Mary Donahue Quinlan every single year. She had a panel at the conference when I went as an 11 year old, and from then on I have been a loyal fan!<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

<\/div>\n
Q: What are you most looking forward to at the conference this year?<\/em>
\nThis year I\u2019m a senior so I think any advice that alums have for me will be helpful. Hopefully I can make some connections that will help me achieve success and happiness.<\/div>\n
