Who We Are

WICA was founded in September 2001. Samar Sleiman, founder and current Alumni, created WICA based on the idea of developing a network of females within a corporate community. Under the encouragement of Dr. Susanne O’Callaghan and Dr. Barry Miller, the concept became bona fide. Today, WICA has matured into a professional organization and formed extensive relationships with organizations, alumni and corporate representatives.

Our Mission

We, the members of WICA are dedicated to being future leaders of Corporate America by building our inner strength, excelling professionally and academically, and also helping fellow students succeed in our community. Our objectives are to create a leadership environment, develop relationships among current members and alumni, host professional workshops, network with external organizations and be involved in community service

OUR MAIN GOALS INCLUDE:

1. Obtaining Mentors

These are people who have a positive influence on your career.

They offer inspiration, great experience and can be seen as wise and loyal advisors.

1. Networking

Means developing a broad list of contacts -- people you’ve met through various business and social functions – and encouraging them to assist you in looking for a job. People in your network may be able to give you job leads, offer you advice and information about a particular company or industry, and introduce you to others so that you can expand your network.
