The Office of Career Development and the SWIB Alumnae Group invite you to join us for a panel discussion and networking reception on December 4th: Transitioning into Working Motherhood: Navigating a Successful (or good enough) Transition into Pregnancy and Returning Back to Work.

Transitioning into working motherhood can be a complex time in which women are often just trying to survive let alone thrive. This panel is targeted at working MBA women who may be anywhere in their early motherhood journey from informing her manager to preparing for maternity leave, the initial return or the months that follow. We’ll take a candid look at what is often described as a daunting, chaotic, scary, humbling and hilarious time in a woman’s life with fellow Stern MBA alums to discuss how women can return to work, and not just survive, but flourish in their new roles as working mothers.
