Working closely alongside Serena in founding the UWSP Women in Business (WIB) organization, I have had the pleasure of seeing firsthand her unwavering commitment to women’s professional development.

Serena’s organizational skills are exceptional, as evidenced by her ability to balance several leadership roles at once, while working and going to school full-time. She is goal-driven and purposeful in her actions, and her passion shines through in her many accomplishments. Serena is friendly and has a welcoming demeanor. She works extremely well with others. I highly recommend Serena as an effective leader and an asset to any organization.”

“I first met Serena when she reached out to me as president Sentry School’s Women in Business club and asked if I would present to their chapter. Since then, I have introduced her to several people from the campus and local business communities whose interests align with the WiB club’s mission. Serena has consistently demonstrated an extraordinary interest in connecting with those individuals, and her natural talent for fostering professional relationships and forging effective business partnerships has played a significant role in the WiB club's success.

Serena’s ability to communicate with clarity and enthusiasm has proven equally valuable, enabling her to successfully advance the club’s mission by engaging its members in a variety of events and collaborative partnerships with local organizations and business leaders. Through her diligent leadership and dedication to empowering others, the Women in Business club provides a welcoming, inclusive, and positive environment in which future business leaders can nurture their professional growth. Serena has been instrumental in creating a culture where members feel valued, supported, and empowered to thrive.

”I have had the pleasure of knowing Serena Vincent during her time as a student in the Sentry School of Business and Economics at UW-Stevens Point where she has demonstrated exceptional dedication and enthusiasm in her academic pursuits, consistently achieving high grades in her coursework. However, what truly sets her apart is her active involvement in various student organizations and initiatives both on and off-campus.

During her time at UWSP, Serena has been an invaluable member of Women in Business, where she has taken on leadership roles and contributed significantly to its success. Furthermore, I have been particularly impressed by Serena's commitment to networking and supporting women in the business field. She has actively participated in networking events, workshops and seminars where she has not only expanded her own professional network but also mentored and supported fellow female students aspiring to pursue careers in business.

Serena possesses excellent communication skills, a strong work ethic, and a genuine passion for making a positive impact in her community. I am confident that she will continue to excel in her academic and professional endeavors and will be a valuable asset to any organization she chooses to join.”

“Serena is a driven, passionate, and meticulous leader who I've had the pleasure of working with over the past six months. I have consistently been inspired and impressed by her professional communication and strategic thinking skills. Serena has ensured that we have a regular information stream among the NextGen Council members by writing quarterly update summaries, meeting with council members about their positions and goals, and helping me update the Board on council activities.
