Women in Management (WIM) was formed in 1979 in response to the need for an organization for women in leadership positions at USC, and to address the issues of increased representation of women in responsible positions, equal pay for men and women holding similar positions, and the provision of a forum in which women could develop leadership skills. The purpose of the organization remains to provide a forum for communication, professional development, and career opportunities for women at USC.

May 23, 2016: Dueling Book Clubs (avian themed for some odd reason)

May 18, 2016 UPDATE on UPC location: Meeting moved to VPD 103. From the moderator: “That is the big building on the Expo side of RGL – the big, pretty, new building between Lewis Hall and the Law school. On the plus side, there’s a (good) coffee shop on the ground floor of VPD – so you can grab coffee or tea before our meeting in room 103 at Noon.”
