Spotlight on Women in Communications

Women In Communications (WIC) is a professional organization at Syracuse University affiliated with the S.I. Newhouse School of Public Communications. Their aim is to bring together and empower young women as they enter the workforce. Through various events and campaigns, WIC strives to create a network of young professionals, ready to take on the communications industry. This November, Ilana Greenberg, GDUSA’s Creative Director, will join their illustrious group of speakers. Here is a look at the 2020 executive team who shared with us an inspirational quote or saying they live by.
