UVA McIntire School of Commerce at UF April 2nd

The University of Virginia’s McIntire School of Commerce is happy to be back on the campus of UF this spring!

Have you been wanting to prepare for case interviews? Or have you felt the process of preparing to be daunting and/or intimidating? Most management consulting firms and now other industries incorporate some form of a case interview into their interview process.

Join the McIntire School of Commerce for a Case Interview Workshop at UF. The purpose of this workshop is to provide you an overview of what case interviewing is, how you can practice before interview season, and run through an interactive case interview in real-time.

'Shine On' Scholarship for Women in STEM

The GREEN Program is honored to announce a scholarship opportunity in honor of a very bright & influential woman in STEM, Kate Slattery: Shine On.

Slattery, an accomplished engineer & photovoltaic designer of SolarCity, is a published author of a children’s book, Fly with Maya, a story about a young girl who traveled the world by way of hot air balloon, learning from engineers throughout her journey. The story is meant to inspire young girls to pursue engineering careers and follow their dreams even when faced with challenging obstacles.

On behalf of SolarCity and Give Power, The GREEN Program is excited and humbled to announce that two scholarships of $2000 USD each will be awarded to two women in technical fields to join us in Nepal for our Microgrid Systems For Rural Development program this December 12-21.
