As lead sponsor of the Women in Technology Young Professionals (WIT YoPros) program, the Scheller College of Business is thrilled to host an event focused on empowering women to make connections that span across business and STEAM. YoPros members and Scheller faculty, staff, undergraduate and MBA students, and alumni are invited to attend.
Terry Blum — former dean of the College, Tedd Munchak Chair, and Professor of Organizational Behavior — will kick off the evening with a keynote address sharing how important decisions made at critical junctures in her early career made all the difference.

Panelists include Katie Badura, Assistant Professor of Organizational Behavior; Terry Blum, Tedd Munchak Chair and Professor of Organizational Behavior; Shan Cooper, CEO of Journey Forward Strategies; Maribeth Gandy, Director of Research for Institute for People and Technology (IPaT) at Georgia Tech; and Nan Zhao, Assistant Professor of Marketing.
