Rising Tide: Women Making Waves in the Startup World

Rising Tide: Women Making Waves in the Startup World is the Buerk Center's Women's Entrepreneurial Leadership program (WE Lead)'s annual celebration of entrepreneurial women across the Pacific Northwest who are creating impact and making change in their communities. Rising Tide is also a celebration of Women’s Entrepreneurship Day, where we'll build community among entrepreneurial leaders, problem solvers, intrapreneurs, and creative minds from on and off campus. Women rise to their potential by growing their leadership and by making their dreams a reality, in community with other women. Together, we work to lift up the next generation of women leaders to make us all stronger—“a rising tide lifts all boats.”You will be joined for lunch by other students, as well as special guests - dynamic professional women from a multitude of industries, all with their own stories to share. In addition, we'll have activities to inspire connection and conversation, special guest speakers, and more! All are welcome regardless of gender identity. This event is for currently enrolled UW students - community members will be included by direct invitation. Guest Speakers Ruchika T.
