The brilliant thing about being at an all-girls college is that you're pushed to succeed, and have a successful career far more than you would be at any other.
We've had two events in the last week that have been surprisingly helpful, and a privilege to attend.
1) Newnham Associates:
Newnham has a network of alumni that remain in touch with the college, and are very successful in diverse fields, and encourage you to contact them if you want help with your career.
They are more than willing to be mentors, and come to the college on a regular basis to share their experiences. This Saturday, we have the chance to discuss our CVs with prominent members of the field we were interested in, one-on-one.
Where else would we be able to do that?
2) Morgan Stanley Presentation & Dinner:
I just attended a great networking session with Morgan Stanley women, that was meant only for women.
Everyone was absolutely down-to-earth, but also razor sharp, and highly accomplished, and most of the women were balancing 12 hour work days, with taking of their children.
It's inspiring to say the least.
