Firstly--- How bout them Phils?! Game 1 was so decisively ours. It's a great time to be in Philadelphia, especially with all those nay-sayers...we'll prove them wrong.

Secondly-- Do you remember me talking about being on the website committee for Senior Seminar? Wellllll now the website is up and running! Check it out at sthmseniorseminar.com. I'm so proud of the website committee. Long nights at the TECH Center paid off! We'll be updating it frequently with pictures, newsletters, and events, but for now we've got a really great base.

Thirdly-- This week was the 10th Annual Women's Entrepreneurship Conference. I attended for the first time, and honestly I had no idea of some of the resources I learned about. Temple is ranked third in the country for Entrepreneurship, a huge honor, and accordingly, our Innovation and Entrepreneurship Institute (IEI), is doing big things to empower all students as future business leaders.

The keynote speaker as this conference was Robin Wilson, the founder and CEO of Robin Wilson Home (robinwilsondesign.com). Ms. Wilson was eco-friendly before it became a trend, and told us about her struggles and triumphs over the past ten years as she has developed and grown her interior design business. She was recently ranked on the list of New York's 50 Most Powerful Women, and her tales of starting off with a bang, to getting burned out, to refocusing and starting again, made me feel like I can do anything I want with perseverance and creativity. In fact, her starting line was, "What would you do if you knew you couldn't fail?" and I think that is an inspiring attitude we should try to engender within ourselves.

And as a last side note! The winner of the Entrepreneurship Conference's essay contest was one of my classmates! Alina is the Project Chair in Senior Seminar, working hard to plan our 18th Annual Career Day, and her essay was chosen from the largest pool of entries the contest has ever seen. Congratulations!
