Professional Events

Forté members have the exclusive opportunity to participate in our speaker series and hear from a host of different speakers brought to campus by our VP of External Affairs. Our speakers have worked in a variety of industries from finance to higher education and leverage their experience to offer insights on how to succeed in the workplace.

Every semester, Forté organizes a New York City Trek, visiting different companies and meeting up with our alumni. On these trips, members have the unique opportunity of hearing presentations from recruiters and Cornell alumni to better understand what career field they might be interested in. In past semesters, we have visited Morgan Stanley, Deloitte, Google, JP Morgan, Facebook, Barclays, Citi, and many more! 

During Women’s Week in March, Forté hosts a variety of events to empower women. We hear from alumni and other speakers to learn more about their experiences being women in male-dominated professions and how they found their voices. In previous years, we collaborated with other on-campus women’s organizations, led club-wide discussions, and heard from industry professionals.

Forté Campus at Cornell’s partnership with our parent organization, Forté Foundation, gives members free access to a national calendar of workshops and conferences, including the Fast Track to Finance Conference, Emerging Leaders Conference, and Biz Tech Conference. Additionally, Forté members are invited to attend graduate school panels to help them find the program that fits their goals. Held in major cities across the U.S. such as Los Angeles, Atlanta, New York City, D.C., Boston, and Chicago, each event connects members with 100+ peers, professionals, leading companies, and grad schools, providing unparalleled opportunities to network with female leaders across diverse industries. Beyond networking, Forté's Career Readiness Program helps undergraduate members build their personal brand and explore new industries with confidence. Members of our chapter have taken advantage of these opportunities to build professionalism, receive mentorship, and forge lasting connections, regardless of their career path.
