It is that time of the year again when everyone is getting ready for the end of the current semester while simultaneously preparing for the beginning of next semester – the cycle of work never ends! Student organizations, especially, are wrapping up their activities and electing new officers to plan for next year.
As I’ve shared in previous entries, I have been involved with Women in Business all year – I’ve attended weekly meetings to plan for speaker events, speaker dinners and career-planning events. My involvement in Women in Business has been very beneficial to me this year, because it gave me, a first year aspiring business major, insight into life as a student at the Robins School of Business. It also helped give me an idea of life after Richmond – life in the real business world. Through Women in Business’s speaker events, I also had the opportunity to explore the different career choices in the business world. I met women specialized in marketing, finance, banking, insurance and even law. Now, I have a better idea of the next three years in the business school.
 I also have decided what areas of business I would like to focus on and what I would like to do upon graduation, for I just submitted my major declaration form! Usually students at UR don’t declare their major until second semester sophomore year, but I wanted to start taking upper level classes. It’s an exciting feeling to finally know what direction I’m heading in throughout the next three years!
