It’s a man’s world. It’s unfortunate, but it’s true; being born with an XY chromosome gives you the upper hand right from the start, even though it’s completely up to chance. Suffrage and the Civil Rights Acts, among other things, have brought women a very long way, but there is still a gap to close. This gap is especially present in the world of business. But as...

The Oscars just happened this past weekend but who really had time to watch them? I am in school taking four classes, I am rushing a sorority and I just helped host a conference with over 50 students from various institutions in New England.
