Erica Ursin-Smith, VP Engagement

Why did you join SWIB? I joined SWIB to connect with and learn from smart, inspiring women and allies who are supportive of one another's personal and professional endeavors.

Favorite part about Stern: In addition to the collaborative culture and strong sense of community, I love Stern's location. New York City is truly an unbeatable place to pursue your MBA!

Advice for women considering pursuing business school: Business school is an investment in yourself, so it is important to spend the time figuring out what you hope to accomplish while you are there, but also to figure out which school and which program is the right fit. I strongly encourage reaching out to current students or recent alumni and having honest conversations about their experience.

Fun Fact: I grew up singing competitively (but the best I can do now is Ironic by Alanis Morissette at karaoke)!
