As a freshman in the IBE program, Sarah is pursuing a Certificate in Entrepreneurship and Innovation, inspired by her mother and a business course she took in high school.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah is proud to be a recipient of the Julie Wainwright Scholarship, awarded to women applying to the IBE major. Wainwright, a Purdue alum and entrepreneur, is the founder and former CEO of <em>The RealReal<\/em>, a luxury consignment company. Given that the major consists of 80% males and 20% females, this scholarship is especially significant. It covers full four-year tuition, as long as the student remains in the IBE program.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-left wp-block-paragraph\">In addition to her studies, Sarah is active in extracurricular activities. She is a member of Future Greek Leaders, the Women\u2019s Club for Integrated Business and Engineering Students, and the Chi Omega sorority. These experiences enhance her leadership skills and foster networking opportunities.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Sarah values the tight-knit community within the IBE major, where teamwork is a significant component of the learning experience. The combination of academic excellence, extracurricular involvement, and entrepreneurial spirit will serve Sarah well in her future endeavors.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Pictured: Sarah Werth<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1658,"featured_media":11797,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_exactmetrics_skip_tracking":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_active":false,"_exactmetrics_sitenote_note":"","_exactmetrics_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[135,32,51,138,35],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-11796","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-f-24-newsletter-highlights-4","category-news-stories","category-newsletter","category-s-25-newsletter-previous-news","category-student"],"acf":[],"jetpack_featured_media_url":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/11\/7.png","_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1658"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=11796"}],"version-history":[{"count":3,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":11853,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/11796\/revisions\/11853"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/11797"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=11796"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=11796"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.purdue.edu\/entr\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=11796"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
