About the Women in Business Initiative
The Women in Business Initiative supports students interested in advancing the progress of professional women entering the workforce by:
- Sharing success stories of women business leaders;
- Offering engagement opportunities for undergraduate students and the Charlotte business community;
- Showcasing attractive career options and providing avenues for skill building to increase confidence and competence for long-term success.
The Belk College Niblock Student Center oversees the program. The initiative includes advisory groups including student ambassadors, an advisory board of executives and faculty consultants.

Get Involved
Become an Affiliate
Students that identify as an Affiliate should be able to speak to consistent, substantive participation in Women in Business opportunities. Affiliates support and promote the mission of the Initiative through regular attendance and involvement at events.
Become a Student Ambassador
Sophomore and junior year student affiliates have the opportunity to apply to be a Women in Business Ambassador annually during the spring semester. We seeks ambassadors who promote and support the mission of the Initiative, have additional time to commit to meetings, functions, and event planning and are interested in taking leadership roles within the Initiative. Information regarding the application will be sent to the Women in Business student email list when applications open (typically the middle of spring semester).
