The Women's Network (TWN) is a national networking organization that was launched on the campus of Syracuse University in the fall of 2017 by founder Jamie Vinick. TWN was created to empower and inspire women, while recognizing key barriers women often encounter when entering and advancing in the workforce. The Women's Network is comprised of a community of passionate, motivated women who are “unapologetically ambitious.â€
TWN provides opportunities to network with female leaders in a wide array of professions in order to expose members to different industries and career paths. Our speakers have ranged from CEOs to broadcast anchors, journalists to best-selling authors, STEM researchers to architects and visionary entrepreneurs. In addition, the network connects women to peers on their respective campuses and around the country. We host national and chapter speaker events, career development workshops, virtual and in-person networking trips, and produce a national podcast – “Redefining Ambition†– to foster a more proactive way of communicating and networking with other women. TWN is revolutionizing networking as we know it. We are building a community of intelligent, passionate women, while at the same time providing instrumental resources and making connections that we hope will prove invaluable.
Our mission: to create a community of women that celebrates the desire to achieve, cultivating their ambition to prepare the next generation of leaders.
