UR's Robins School of Business hosts 'Women on Wall Street' event
“Women on Wall Street” will unite a group of women with ties to Wall Street to discuss career and personal issues in the face of a rapidly changing business landscape. The inaugural event will be held Nov. 11, 6-8 p.m. in University of Richmond’s Robins School of Business, Queally Hall, Ukrop Auditorium.
The Robins School will welcome six women for this panel discussion, which is part of the Robins Executive Speaker Series. Four of the panelists are Robins School alums.
Panelists will include:
- Corynne Arnett, vice president of Financial Management, Dominion Generation
- Chelsea Babcock, ’11, junior associate, Octagon Credit Investors
- Mackenzie Berman, ’06, partner and co-head of Marketing and Investor Relations, Price Street Capital Management
- Annie Chu, ’08, program manager
- Lauren Dillard, ’98, managing director and partner, The Carlyle Group
- Nancy Everett, chief executive officer, Virginia Commonwealth University Investment Management Company
“While women have made great progress in the workplace, they remain underrepresented in many parts of the financial services industry,” said Nancy Bagranoff, Robins School of Business dean. “This can be self-perpetuating if young women do not see others succeeding in this area.”
“We thought it would be useful to assemble a group of women in various niches in finance to demonstrate potential paths and to provide mentorship as well,” she added.
The event is free and open to the public, but registration is requested. A reception will follow the breakout discussions.
