Women in Design (WID) Speed Mentoring Event
30 women at various stages of their career came together to converse

Associate Dean Mo Zell started Women in Design (WID) in 2014. This networking group comes together monthly to hear from significant figures in the Milwaukee community and conducts mentoring events. Membership is open to women working in any design-related profession in-cluding but not limited to architecture, landscape, interior design, public health, fine arts, and graphic design. The strength of the organization is its diversity of membership as well as the range of experiences among its members.

The School hosted a WID speed mentoring event in February. Over 30 women at various stages of their careers attended the event sponsored by Sprecher Brewery and SARUP. Architecture and Urban Planning students met with emerging and senior professionals to converse about work, work-life balance, and professional experiences.
