I would like to invite you to join us for lunch with speaker Lise Vesterlund, CSWEP member and professor at the University of Pittsburgh, on March 22nd from 12-1:15 pm in the economics seminar room Arps Hall 437.
We will be exchanging experiences and discussing struggles that are pertinent to women in economics PhD programs. If you are interested in joining, we’d be happy to include you in the conversation.
I hope to see you there!
-Vanessa Ordoñez
President of Graduate Women in Economics

Key takeaways from our meeting with Lise:
- Female networks are extremely important, and one that is focussed on the research aspect can be highly beneficial to keep one motivated and focused.
- Find what you like, and follow it. This is the difference between a happy and miserable life in the future. Find research the moves you.
- Get out of your comfort zone in conferences. Make a list of people to talk to, and commit to it; just get out there and make connections.
