ESTEEM Notre Dame Feb 26th

ESTEEM (Engineering, Science, Technology Entrepreneurship Excellence Masters) is an innovative 1-year Professional Master’s Program at the University of Notre Dame designed to surround individuals with STEM background in an entrepreneurial ecosystem, allowing them to take university technologies from concept to market. Students are first immersed into business-related courses taught through an entrepreneurial lens followed by a very unique capstone thesis project where students develop a commercialization plan of taking real university research to market.

Sunny Shah, Assistant Director/Faculty of the ESTEEM Graduate Program at the University of Notre Dame, will be in Seal Court on February 26 11am-1pm and in Keck at the Burns Lecture Hall from 5pm-7pm.

Internship Hangout Feb 9

Hey there!
If you are in the midst of the often long and frustrating search for interesting summer internships, join us for ranting, snacks, peer editing, and advice.
Bring your computers and your resumes, we’ll bring the chocolate.

*Scripps Women in Technology is specifically focused on students interested in the tech field, but we think students in every industry benefit from learning and highlighting technical skills*

FACEBOOK EVENT

Scripps College Economic Society Book Club – “Lean In”

The Scripps College Economics Society hosted a discussion about Lean In, written by Facebook COO Sheryl Sandberg. Her book gives practical suggestions for increasing women’s representation in leadership positions in all industries. This followed a telecast with Sandberg in which she discusses her ongoing efforts to elevate the status of women worldwide by promoting women’s leadership.

The meeting was well attended, and participants engaged in a lively discussion about Sandberg’s book as well as the more general issues that professional and working women (especially in the finance and tech industries) face.

Pumpkin cinnamon rolls, apple cider, and pumpkin spice bread accompanied the meeting as well.

Scripps Economics Society Dinner

Scripps economics majors joined faculty members and guest speaker, Dr. Bevin Ashenmiller at the Scripps Economics Society semi-annual dinner. Dr. Bevin Ashenmiller is currently an economics professor at Occidental College, and served as a Senior Economist for the Energy and the Environment at the White House Council of Economic Advisers last year. She spoke about her experience adjusting to the Washington D.C. environment and the reality of her ability to make impact on policy. Dr. Ashenmiller shared that she initially did not believe she would be accepted to the program, and emphasized the importance of students taking risks and seeking opportunities.

Her report analyzing the economics of recycling has been featured on the Wall Street Journal; read it here.
