Women Entrepreneurship Week
WEW 2019 will be held Oct. 19-26, 2019
It is easy to join the WEW global movement, and have your university or college host an event during the official Women Entrepreneurship Week dates. In 2019, the sixth annual Women Entrepreneurship Week will be held Oct. 19-26, 2019. Any college or university is welcome to participate in WEW. All you have to do is hold an event related to women during the designated week, Oct. 19-26, 2019. There is no cost/fee to be involved. Each university or college has the flexibility to design its own event. A program can be a big public event or it can be a small gathering of students listening to a woman entrepreneur. The only requirements are that the event focus on women entrepreneurs, and be held sometime during the designated week. If your university or college would like to participate in WEW 2019 or needs more information, please contact sharon.waters@montclair.edu.
