M.I.A.M.I. WOMEN Symposium/Hawk Tank
From the Nominator
The M.I.A.M.I. WOMEN Symposium is a popular event hosted by M.I.A.M.I. WOMEN since 2014 and geared toward inspiring and advancing women in career and life. Keynotes and speakers such as Geena Davis, Nicholas Kristoff, Sheryl WuDunn, Reshma Saujani and more have drawn sold out attendance of over 300 individuals. The Symposium connects alumnae to each other and back to campus; friends re-connect, new contacts are made – all united under the message of empowering women to live their best lives. Through this connection, the M.I.A.M.I. WOMEN Giving Circle was created.
From the Judges
I really like the connectivity between donors and grant seekers for both sides with the Hawk Tank. I also like the training given to the grant competitors and the short timeline. Clearly ticking lots of boxes not just fundraising.
