WIBA Online

The Rowe Women in Business Association presents the launch of WIBA Online, a blog platform for everyone, regardless of gender, age, or program. Our goal is to spread awareness about subjects and ideas that our members and executive team are passionate about, such as gender equality, how to land the right co-op internships, and inspirational news items. Posts will be written by WIBA’s executive team, as well as featuring special guest appearances from the surrounding community.

As our first official blog post, we wanted to provide you with a bit of inspiration for the upcoming year, whether you are transitioning into a new co-op placement, or returning to campus for another semester. Here are five quotes from our favourite female leaders and influencers to help you tune into your motivation this fall.
