We’ve all been students and many of us are parents, so we know how important education is and wanted to build our June event theme around it. The conversation starter this month is “If you were a high school student today, which class would you want to take?”</p> <p>While the event is primarily intended for networking, we will have a short segment at 5:30 to share important announcements and showcase three women in our community.</p> <p>• Introduction to PwC, including what they do and what job opportunities are available.</p> <p>• ​​Allie Foote, Advisory Manager at PwC, will discuss her dedication to continued education and ways to balance school and work.</p> <p>• Marie Xun Wang, Postdoctoral Researcher at OHSU, will give us pointers on transitioning out of school into the professional world.</p> <p>• Esbeida Ramos and Nikki Whitton, both STEM Event Coordinators at nConnect NW, will talk about preparing the future workforce.</p> <p>During the event, we’ll have more to do than free-form networking:</p> <p>• An Activity Table where people can get creative. This is a fantastic way to meet others if large groups are not your thing. If you have trouble finding it, look for Meg Aul, our Event Activities Director.</p> <p>• Table Topics to help break-the-ice.</p> <p>• A section for job seekers and those hiring, to ensure people get connected.</p> <p>PDXWIT is a community-based non-profit organization. Our purpose is to strengthen the Portland women in tech community by offering educational programs, partnerships, mentorships, resources and opportunities. We are unifying a supportive environment for current and potential women in tech, all of whom are committed to helping each other. Our goal is to bring together and empower women in tech and to encourage others to pursue tech careers. This is our step towards reducing the gender imbalance in the industry and addressing the current negative effects of that imbalance on women.</p> <p>Trans and non-binary people are always welcome at our events.</p> </div> <h3>Links</h3> <ul> <li><a class="url u-url" href="https://www.eventbrite.com/e/pdx-women-in-tech-pdxwit-happy-hour-networking-event-tickets-35103898706">Website</a></li> </ul> </div>
