The Women's Network (TWN) is a national women’s networking organization that was launched on the campus of Syracuse University in the fall of 2017 by founder Jamie Vinick. TWN was created to provide collegiate women with the resources and tools they need to authentically and successfully network. TWN recognizes key barriers women often encounter when entering and advancing in the workforce, and works to amplify women’s voices to combat such obstacles. The Women's Network is a community of high-achieving, motivated women who are “unapologetically ambitious.”
TWN provides opportunities to network with female leaders in a wide array of professions in order to expose members to different industries and career paths. Our speakers have ranged from CEOs to broadcast anchors, journalists to best-selling authors, STEM researchers to architects, and visionary entrepreneurs. In addition, the Network connects women to peers on their respective campuses and around the country. We host national and chapter speaker events, career development workshops, discussion panels, alumni receptions, virtual and in-person networking trips. TWN produces a podcast – “Redefining Ambition” – to highlight the personal and professional journeys of ambitious leaders and to expose women to different career paths in order to inspire the next generation.
TWN is revolutionizing networking as we know it. We are building a community of intelligent, ambitious women, while simultaneously providing critical resources and connections to help women achieve professional success.
Our mission: to create a community of women that celebrates the desire to achieve, cultivating ambition to prepare the next generation of leaders.
