UTA is hosting a virtual event called Pasa Adelante Con UTA on Thursday, Dec. 10th in the afternoon from 6-8 p.m. This event will provide students the opportunity to receive a fee waiver for their application. This event will be held completely in Spanish but we will have English speaking counselors available in case anyone else is interested. 

This virtual event will take place via Zoom. It will begin with a live 30 minute presentation in Spanish, to provide information about admissions, scholarships, and financial aid. After the presentation, students and their families can speak directly with admissions staff to ask any follow up questions. If you miss the presentation, students can still join the breakout sessions to speak with an admissions counselor in Spanish or English. Click HERE to register.

We are writing to you today to invite Tomball Memorial High School to the 2021 BOLD Conference that will be held virtually from Saturday, January 30th to Sunday, January 31st, 2021. BOLD (Business Oriented Leadership Development) is a business conference for high school girls presented by Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business.

BOLD, previously known as YWBLC, is part of Harvard Undergraduate Women in Business (HUWIB), which is the largest undergraduate business organization on Harvard’s campus, reaching over 400 members. Our mission is to empower young women and future leaders by uniting them through business education and experience.

Since 2017, our conferences have been remarkable experiences for our organization and for the high school girls who attended. Though we wish we could have hosted our conference in person, the BOLD team has been working hard to provide the best virtual experience for everyone! The conference will be a full weekend of dynamic programming that seeks to introduce high school women to the business world and guide them in developing essential skills for charting their path in the field. Attendees will attend a wide range of presentations and workshops that will help them further develop business, organization, and communication skills needed for future endeavors. Other programming includes virtual campus tours, workshops, and various industry panels. 

Registration is now officially open and can be found at this link. Given the current pandemic and the financial hardships it may present, the BOLD team has decided to implement a “pay-what-you-can system” for ticket prices. In other words, attendees can choose to attend the conference for free, or donate what they are able to. Any donation amount will be greatly appreciated as all proceeds will go towards the scholarship fund for future BOLD conferences. As we transition to a virtual conference and stay mindful of the extenuating circumstances we are in, we wanted to make this event accessible to as many high school women as possible.

For more information about the BOLD conference, please visit www.huwib-bold.com. For information regarding Harvard Women in Business in general, please visit www.huwib.com. Please feel free to reach out with any questions or concerns. We look forward to hearing from you and hope you join us for this exciting event!

All the best,

The BOLD Conference Team
