Diversity in Business

Diversity in Business shapes Masters and MBAs towards becoming inclusive leaders of tomorrow by:

"Encouraging the understanding of each individual’s uniqueness and recognizing individual differences in a safe, positive, and nurturing environment. More specifically, this can be along the dimensions of race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, socio-economic status, age, physical abilities, religious beliefs, political beliefs, or other ideologies."

The Diversity in Business Club Believes:

·        That a diverse and talented workforce is a key competitive advantage

·        That a wide array of perspectives that results from a Diversity and Inclusion focus promotes innovation and business success

·         Embracing and understanding the importance of Diversity and Inclusion is fundamental to the Wisconsin School of Business (WsoB) students excelling in the global economy

This organization will work to encourage students to pursue their own cultural awareness and attain a sense of tolerance and understanding through collaborative events, professional speaker series, mentoring opportunities and engagement. 

All programming and club initiatives will align with the following principle platforms:

• SHAPE - The ‘Shape’ Committee will expand the knowledge and understanding of diversity and cultural competency within the business context through WSoB Partnership events, external industry insight and corporate partnerships.

• BUILD - The ‘Build’ Committee will increase visibility of diverse MBA’s within the WSoB community and campus wide through community service and support of the undergraduate BBA Multicultural Student Business Organization (MBSA).

• LEAD -The ‘Lead’ Committee will be integrally involved in the planning and execution of the Wisconsin School of Business’ premier diversity and admissions recruitment event, the Diversity Summit and will work to promote multiculturalism and diversity within the masters curriculum.
