Students have specifically expressed interest in meeting professionals from fields such as finance\, nonprofit administration\, health administration\, sports marketing\, and small business owners. All we ask of these mentors is that they attend our April 8th meeting\, and that they are open to scheduling follow-ups with the students who reach out to connect. \n\n \n\nIf you are interested in participating as a mentor for this event or learning more about UMKC Women In Business\, register for this free event or email WIB Vice President Leah McIntyre lkmghx@umsystem.edu.
