As the semester comes to an end, I'm realizing how much I miss coming to the Kendra Scott headquarters every week. What a great experience this class was! To those joining it next semester: get ready for the ride! :)

In the wise words of @KendraScott "You're not trying to be the best, you want to be the only." Thankfully, that doesn't mean having to do things completely on your own because we are #BolderTogether. And there's a future where women succeed by building each other up!

If you're considering taking Women in Entrepreneurship during a future semester, I HIGHLY recommend doing so! This experience is truly exceptional and you get so much more out of it than your typical class. The very best part is being taught by the phenomenal @janryan ! :)

From the first week to the last, so grateful for every moment spent in the Women in Entrepreneurship class! Each second was valuable, but my favorite part was the camaraderie and community we established early on and kept building every week :) #BolderTogether

Our last class this week was incredible! Great job to everyone on their #RocketPitches Couldn't have asked for a better team, panel, or professors. Truly the most amazing, impactful class I've been a part of <3 #BolderTogether #WhoRunsTheWorld
After taking a few days to reflect on our final class, I can confidently say that WIE is the best course offered at UT. I will take so much of this course with me for the rest of my life. A huge thank you to Jan and Kendra for their incredible mentorship this semester.
It's safe to say this course and this week's pitches will be hard to forget! We have accomplished so much this semester and we should all be so proud! So excited to see what great things everyone will move onto in the future!
Our class finished yesterday, yet the experiences, insights, and wonderful friendships will stay with us! A big thank you to @janryan to making this experience come to life! Feeling incredibly thankful for this semester!

Watching all the Rocket pitches today was amazing! Our team got great feedback from the panelists, which ties back to my biggest takeaway of the class. Take feedback with poise because it will only help you and your business grow!
