UAT The Undergraduate Women’s Investment Network The Undergraduate Women’s Investment Network (UWIN) was launched in 2015, after a review of job applicants revealed that female candidates for junior level research positions at Loomis Sayles comprised only 18% of the applications received in 2014 and 2015. The meager results inspired an innovative program and step towards progress. Shannon O’Mara, UWIN founder and Associate Director of Credit Research, designed a comprehensive mentorship and internship program at Loomis Sayles that has successfully partnered with about 160 students over the last six years. We welcome another 39 students for the 2021-2022 school year from 15 Boston area colleges and universities.The UWIN program offers school year mentorship and internship opportunities to female undergraduates in their sophomore and junior years that are studying business, finance, accounting, mathematics or economics with an interest in financial markets.
