On Saturday, October 20, 2001, students, families, staff, alumnae, and faculty
from the Five Colleges joined members of the WITI team to officially launch
the WITI Invent Center at Smith College. The Center, located in newly renovated
facilities in Tilly Hall, is the first of what WITI hopes will be a network
of college and university-based centers designed to advance women's participation
in the technological economy.
A ribbon cutting
ceremony and a short program with remarks
by John Connolly, acting president of Smith College, Carolyn Leighton,
CEO of WITI, and Veronica Boaz, vice president of WITI leadership Xcellence,
was followed by a reception for Smith students and parents who were on
campus attending family weekend. Nancy Hellman, the consulting director
for the new center, answered questions about the services that WITI will
provide, including internships and mentoring programs; leadership assessment,
training and coaching; real-world
work experiences for undergraduates; and resources and connections for
faculty, alumnae, and entrepreneurs.
