Spartan Women in Business (SWIB)

Learn More About our Organization

We are a graduate student organization dedicated to empowering female business professionals, assisting women with leadership positions in business, and enhancing the diversity of the workforce worldwide.

Although SWIB serves a generally female-identifying audience, such as female business professionals and graduate-level entrepreneurs, male members are always welcome. SWIB hosts many networking events and opportunities that any graduate student member may attend.

UNCG’s Spartan Women in Business group started as a UNCG NAWMBA Chapter, founded in 2014 by Ashley Raper with the help and support of the Bryan School. At the end of 2019, NAWMBA transitioned and created changes that made us re-evaluate our mission, goals, and membership. We re-launched as Spartan Women in Business in 2020 and opened our membership to all graduate-level women in the Bryan School of Business & Economics, to help connect, support, and further women in roles as leaders and changemakers in their organizations and communities.
