area business schools, and is being organized by Smith
student members of NAWMBA. NAWMBA is a not-for-profit
organization dedicated to empowering women MBAs in order to
propel more women into leadership positions in corporate
American and enhance the diversity of the nation’s

 This

financial mettle in the school’s first-ever Mergers &
Acquisitions competition, organized and hosted by the MBA
Finance Association and sponsored by Credit Suisse and
Lehman Brothers. The competition will draw teams from top
business schools around the country for $8,500 in prizes.
Teams of up to four students will each compete over a
