Women in Entrepreneurship

WiE is a thriving community of founders, entrepreneurs, creators, and makers at UIUC.

Our mission is to create a thriving community of women in entrepreneurship, providing them with a safe and inclusive space to connect, collaborate, and learn from one another. Through engaging events, insightful speakers, and a network, we aim to inspire, educate, and equip women at the University of Illinois to excel in their entrepreneurial pursuits.
