It took me some time to get comfortable in my own skin and feel free to do the things that I really loved without the feeling of social pressure. I urge any current students to take advantage of junior year opportunities (D.C., NYC, or abroad) as these are the experiences that really pushed me and made me connect with HC people I otherwise never would have met.\u201d<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">\u00a0Grace Ingram \u201821 shares that her favorite course was <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Social Ethics<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\"> with Professor Guth and enjoyed her time living with the \u201cbest crew\u201d in Alumni 023! You could often find her enjoying a stir fry at Kimball or sitting in the main reading room in Dinand and will always cherish working with Women in Business and Working for Worcester. Looking back on conference planning, she found \u201cconnecting with so many incredible alumnae to be the most rewarding\u201d\u00a0 and wants to remind current students that \u201cyour time on the Hill is short so take advantage of it and enjoy it while you can!\u201d We congratulate Grace on securing a full-time position as an analyst at CBRE.<\/span><\/li>\n<li style=\"font-weight: 400\"><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Nalani Ramos Ruiz \u201821 shares that <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">Freedoms &amp; Unfreedoms: Coloniality &amp; Decoloniality in Puerto Ric<\/span><\/i><span style=\"font-weight: 400\">o with Professor Weiner was one of her favorite courses, along with being involved with Women in Business and Community Based Learning. You would often find her out in Worcester exploring the different restaurants and food spots, and of course enjoyed chicken\/eggplant parm night at Kimball. Nalani lived in Loyola 265 where every Thursday she would host a hot cocoa night with a few close friends to play board games, watch movies, and just chat.\u00a0 Her favorite Women in Business conference memory is when she was \u201cmeeting the Rangel sisters!! It was really cool seeing someone so successful and well known from my island (Puerto Rico) who went to HC.\u201d Nalani will miss seeing everyone, friends, roommates, professors, Kimball staff, and everyone at the Ciocca Center.\u00a0 We congratulate her on securing a full-time position at Raytheon in the contracts division.\u00a0<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Join us at the 16th annual Women in Business Conference this fall to be held on Saturday, November 13, 2021.\u00a0 \u00a0Registration is set to open in early September.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Many thanks to our graduating seniors for their strong leadership through the transition to virtual and for celebrating the 15th annual conference with such success.\u00a0 When asked to reflect on their four years on the hill, our Women in Business Conference committee seniors shared dorm memories, favorite Kimball meals and most memorable professors\/courses.\u00a0 Please join &hellip; <\/p>\n<p class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/2021\/05\/22\/women-in-business-committee-thanks-senior-leadership\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &#8220;Women in Business Committee Thanks Senior Leadership&#8221;<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1],"tags":[56,86,107,210,227,288,420,449,478,508,509],"class_list":["post-1382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-uncategorized","tag-business","tag-ciocca-center","tag-conference","tag-graduation","tag-holy-cross","tag-leadership","tag-seniors","tag-students","tag-thank-you","tag-women","tag-women-in-business"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1382","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1382"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1382\/revisions"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1382"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1382"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/blogs.holycross.edu\/business\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1382"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
