JHBC ShEconomy

What is the JHBC ShEconomy? 

The ShEconomy was founded by the Jack H. Brown College of Business and Public Administration (JHBC) Office of Academic Equity (OAE). Since its inception in 2018, the event has grown by over 300%, presenting the state of the ShEconomy—where we stand as women. Each year, we focus on a topic that empowers women, covering vital themes like COVID-19, entrepreneurship, and negotiations.

This year's theme is the powerful combination of self-advocacy, confidence building, and personal branding in the digital era. Self-advocacy is all about recognizing your worth and boldly expressing your ideas and aspirations. Confidence gives you the inner strength to face challenges and make decisions with assurance. In today's online world, personal branding is key; it showcases your skills and values to employers, clients, and collaborators. Together, these elements form a robust framework for personal and professional growth, helping you overcome obstacles and stand out in your field.

Focusing on women is crucial because gender equality remains an ongoing challenge. By empowering women, we not only enhance their individual lives but also drive broader social and economic progress. When women succeed, communities thrive. Join us to learn how to integrate these essential tools, build resilience, and create a unique digital presence that highlights your true potential. Let's empower your journey to success!
