SWIB'S MISSION

Stern Women in Business (SWIB) is an organization that promotes the advancement of businesswomen within and beyond the Stern community.

In the past, SWIB has focused on fostering connections among Stern women, and we're proud to continue creating spaces for female-identifying students to come together and discuss topics significant to women in business. At the same time, we believe our responsibility in the twenty-first century extends beyond the traditional scope of an MBA women's club, and today SWIB engages in a broad range of activities designed to prepare every Stern student to enter a business world where gender equality is an ideal that has yet to be realized.

Our goal is to cultivate an informed, active, supportive MBA community for female-identifying students, and in doing so, to be a positive force for gender equality in the world beyond Stern.

SWIB pursues this goal with a three-part mission:
