Join Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL), the Women's Center, Gender and Women's Studies, the McNair Scholars Program and the Honors College for this important, practical and enlightening workshop!

You've probably heard about the wage gap. You know, the part where men and women often get paid differently for doing the same job? The gap is even bigger for people of color and people with disabilities. What can you do, besides wringing your hands and hoping you don't fall in?

Learn to negotiate your salary, that's what! Women Involved in Learning and Leadership (WILL) along with the Women's Center, GWST, the McNair Scholars Program, and the Honors College is bringing another edition of $tart $mart to UMBC. This workshop will help you learn how to ask for what you're worth, even in this tight job market, and help you avoid one of the most common pitfalls for new employees: failing to negotiate that starting salary. Don't let this happen to you!

The workshop will be held November 5 from 5-8 in Sherman Hall B-Wing, Room 220, right next to the International Media Center. Dinner will be provided. Invest in your future today!

Please RSVP to Ruken Isik at ruken1@umbc.edu by Friday, October 31.
