Women In Music Summit

Women In Music just hosted their annual summit for the third year in a row! The theme this year was aligned with the organization's mission: Educate, Empower, Advance. The last day of the summit held a career fair aiming to get more women jobs in 2023.

Bummed you missed it this year? Us too! But Women In Music is always doing cool things, especially for women looking to get a footing in the industry and find an empowering community. Women In Music formed back in 1985 as a non-profit organization dedicated to ensuring equality and visibility for women in the musical arts.

Check out WIM here and definitely consider a membership. (And yes, they have memberships specifically for students!).
