Portfolio Management Committee invites OIG members to join the Committee meeting on Wednesdays, 8-9 pm. We hope to engage members who want to learn more about research process and be more involved in decision making for OIG’s portfolio. You could do research in advance and participate actively, or listen and observe. On the following Wednesday’s general meeting, you will give a short presentation or lead a discussion about reflection from your participation in the Committee meeting.

We are able to have up to two general members in each meeting and availability is on first-come-first-served basis, but priority is given to members who are active in general meetings. Sign up takes place in person with Portfolio Manager during Wednesday 9-10pm general meetings. You can sign up at least one week in advance.

OIG wants to see more stock pitches from general members and we appreciate your input for our portfolio building. Please join us!

What is the International Skype Series (ISS)?  The International Skype Series (ISS) provides students with an opportunity to have informal conversation with women and men (usually alumnae) about their career path and about connections between their post-graduation life and work and their undergraduate experiences at Bryn Mawr.  This program was launched last year as a pilot and this year there is one alumnae participating in the program a month.  The focus of this series is connecting students with alumnae who have some connection to international experiences.  This could be a domestic student who decided to go work abroad, an international student who stayed to work in the US, or an international student who is working internationally.
