Staff & Interns
The KS WELI staff’s goal is to be intentional, innovative, and creative to grow and support the number of women-led and women-owned businesses.
KS WELI Internships provide UT Austin students hands-on experience at the professional level, from running events, leading working boards, to running and marketing programs. These students are the drivers of the KS WELI's direction and impact.
