Questrom Women’s Summit 2016

Check out some highlights from last year’s summit!

Here’s what people had to say!

“I am looking forward to the Questrom Women’s Summit because…”

“…it offers a unique opportunity for women of all ages and professions to engage in discussions of issues critically important to us all, and to build lasting relationships for the future.”

“…it is so exciting to bring together Questrom students and graduates across all ages to share their professional experiences and thought leadership!”

“…I can’t wait for the amazing alumnae I know from across the last 12 years to meet and learn from each other.”

“…it will be a terrific chance for alums to meet, re-connect with each other and the school, and continue their learning.”

“…it will be a valuable opportunity to hear about women’s experiences in different areas of business.”

“…I feel as though Questrom School of Business prepared me for various roles I have taken on in my career, from executive management to real estate, as well as leadership positions within community organizations.”
