The Audax Group is one of Wily’s most highly engaged corporate supporters; we are extremely grateful for all the ways the Audax team has volunteered for Wily.
They have maintained continued and varied support of our mission since 2018. From hosting Lunch & Learns and by recently offering their financial literacy expertise to Wily Scholars through a four part seminar series – we are immensely grateful for their seven years of partnership!
Audax’s support of Wily Scholars has been so deeply inspiring.
The Audax team has contributed towards postgraduate Care Packages for fresh Wily alum since 2022. These Care Packages have helped three graduating classes transition towards their next steps in life equipped with essentials they need.
Read what a Scholar had to say:
“Just got the package! I wanted to know if you can share with everyone that the things you all sent actually covered a lot of my shopping list haha. Thank you all so much for the kind words and for the household essentials!!!”
Audax has helped Wily Scholars practice networking skills, build confidence with career fairs, expand their networks, and explore new career possibilities. After the 2022 and 2023 Career Fairs, some Wily Scholars shared:
“I enjoyed how friendly and accepting the employers are…I also took extra solace in the fact these employers made an intentional effort to meet and support students like me.”
In the Summer of 2023, a Wily Scholar participated in an internship with an Audax Private Equity portfolio company. Audax’s recruitment team is committed to collaborating further with our Scholar Engagement team to foster Scholar development.
In February, Audax volunteers led a four-part financial literacy seminar, equipping Scholars with essential knowledge on budgeting, savings, and investments. Read what a Scholar had to say about Audax’s seminars:
“Growing up, no one taught me how to save money or how to invest it. I was only taught to earn money from a job. The financial experts showed people like me that the very tools we need to save money are around us.”
Most recently, Audax hosted the Wily Board of Directors for the 64th Annual Meeting. Wily Staff and Board were welcomed with generous hospitality and an incredible view! Thank you to Pam Martin and Don Bramley for facilitating the use of Audax’s beautiful office space!
Thank you to Audax, for seven fantastic years of supporting Wily Scholars! We look forward to collaborating to bridge the gap between surviving and thriving for all Wily Scholars.
