theme of the 2012 MIT Sloan Women in Management Conference is
“innovating through adversity.” In addition to celebrating the successes
of women, the conference will pose hard-hitting questions about the
systemic gender inequalities that still exist in business today. Whose
problem is this to fix? Are these inequalities are own fault? Our
speakers will explore concrete ways in which women can overcome these
inequalities. It’s time to turn a critical eye on ourselves to figure
out what we, as women, can do on a macro level to eliminate the gender
gap in business and leadership.</p>We
look forward to seeing you on February 10, 2012 as we tackle
controversial topics through candid conversation in an intimate setting
conducive to genuine networking.<br><b><br>3. 16th European Career Fair @ MIT (Sat. Jan 21; Submit resume by Dec. 3)</b><br><b>When: </b>Saturday, January 21, 2012<b><br>Deadline: </b>Submit resume by Saturday, December 3 at <a href="http://www.euro-career.com">www.euro-career.com</a><br>
