| FROM Darden Admissions Blog: 50 Years of Women at Darden — Part 6 |
|
Continuing our series celebrating 50 years of women at Darden, this week we feature Veneka Chagwedera (MBA ’13), a woman who turned her kitchen hobby into an entrepreneurial enterprise. Veneka Chagwedera — Buy a Bar, Feed a Child  Veneka Chagwedera (MBA ’13) While working for a Southeast Asian nonprofit, Veneka Chagwedera (MBA ’13) started making healthy energy bars to keep her going during her field trips to remote areas. When she returned to the United States to begin business school, she continued experimenting with ingredients, with the aim of crafting a satisfying snack bar without preservatives or added chemicals. Chagwedera soon realized her “kitchen hobby had business potential.” With a grant from the University of Virginia i.Lab Business Incubator (housed at Darden) and support from Darden alumni and faculty, she launched NOURIBAR as a Second Year student in 2012. Having never run a business before, she relied on the guidance of several entrepreneurial faculty experts, including Professors Saras Sarasvathy and Jeanne Liedtka. Read Veneka entire story in the latest issue of the Darden Report.

For the past six weeks, we have been celebrating 50 years of women at Darden here on the Admissions Blog. We are incredibly proud of our female student and alumnae population, and all that they have accomplished. At the same time, we also recognize that women are still underrepresented in the business world, as depicted by the graph below.
