OVERVIEW of Girls in Finance Day
A continuation of our program in Fall 2023, Smart Women Securities at UVA is pleased to host our 2024 Girls in Finance Day event. Our goal is to enable female-identifying high school juniors and seniors in the Charlottesville area to engage with current students, staff, and faculty and learn about careers in finance and the broader business field. By attending this event, students will be empowered with the skills and insights to make informed decisions about their futures. Accepted participants will spend six hours at the McIntire School of Commerce at UVA exploring McIntire’s halls, collaborating on hands-on activities, and listening to student and faculty speakers. The six-hour event will include a catered lunch and snacks. We hope that we can give participants a glimpse into what it would be like to pursue education and a career in finance!

The application to attend the event will close at 11:59PM on Tuesday, October 22nd.

Who can attend?
Our event is specifically intended for students in their junior or senior years of high school. This event will provide insight on pursuing education and a career in finance as a woman, so the event is tailored as a women-oriented space. However, we encourage all students that want to be in this space to apply.
Acceptance to the event is not meant to be competitive as we wish to expose as many students as possible to opportunities in finance; however, in order to provide an engaging interactive experience, we must place limits on the number of accepted students.
