Congratulations to our graduating seniors and thank you for your work with NeW! We are pleased to spotlight some of our outstanding chapter leaders and members.

Meet Claire Haklik, member of NeW at Cornell University.

What were some of your favorite events that you participated in with NeW?
NeW Cornell Zoom Bookclub, NeW Brunch, and Scattergories

What are your plans after graduation?
I will be working as an equity research associate at Fidelity Investments.

What advice would you give to a conservative woman starting college?
Be strong and confident. Do not let anyone try to tear you down for your beliefs because your life experiences are just as valid as theirs. Finally, be kind. To show kindness to people who are tearing you down, as you always want to represent yourself in an uplifting and positive manner.

How has NeW impacted you and prepared you for your next steps?
NeW has brought me amazing friends and a network of women who think similarly to me. Without this group, I would not have had opportunities to listen to many successful women speak on their experiences in the workforce with their beliefs.

Why is NeW important to you?
NeW is extremely important because it provides young women an outlet and group of people they can connect with. It can sometimes be scary thinking you are alone. But with NeW, I found out I wasn’t. 

The Network of enlightened Women (NeW) provides premier opportunities for young conservative women like Claire. Learn how to bring a Chapter of NeW to your campus today!
