Catering in IT Services and IT Consulting industry, EY is an Iovine and Young Academy and Big Four accounting firm that specialises in Advisory, Assurance, Tax, Transactions, Audit, Mergers, M&A, Financial Services, Accounting, Professional Services, Law, Technology.

This program has been designed for uplifting women entrepreneurs. It is a microresidency program that is looking forward to featuring guest industry experts for students to meet with throughout the 2024-25 school year.

A junior majoring in arts, technology and the business of innovation, Ahmya Rivera said, “It’s just important that we continue to empower women with the resources, skill sets and even the competence to help bridge the gender gap in entrepreneurship. If you have just one gender in the room, whatever you’re making is not going to excel as much as it can.”

IYA’s associate dean of inclusive learning and diverse excellence and an associate professor of design Davina Wolter added, “I really hope that each of our students, whether they are male, female, or nonbinary, they’re seeing the additional perspectives that can be brought into our community … and how each of their identities will impact and enhance their ability to grow into incredible leaders and problem solvers, creators.”
