The goal of WSAWBA is to provide professional development and social support for women and their allies in business academia.  Women working to build a research career in a business-related field can face unique challenges, and we work towards identifying and addressing them through events throughout the year.  Since our inception in 2013, our hope has been to connect scholars across years and disciplines to create a formal support network to encourage their continued professional success. WSAWBA is open to all students, regardless of gender, who support the WSAWBA mission.
