At Ross, we understand you want a career that is
both challenging and fulfilling. Our general management curriculum
gives you the flexibility to tailor a program that suits your unique
goals. Our community gives you the resources and support network you
need to be your best in business and beyond.
Support for your goals from one of the strongest
women’s networks
Michigan Business Women
(MBW) is a professional club dedicated to
fostering a strong community of women at Ross. The student-run MBW
hosts career networking, professional development, community
service, and social events for Ross women throughout the year. The
annual Women in Leadership Conference (co-sponsored by MBW and
Women@Ross) provides networking and recruiting
opportunities for students, alumnae and professional from across the
United States.
Engagement with alumnae and current students
Your support network does
not end at graduation. Ross alumnae remain an active part of the
community through the
Women’s Leadership Council
(WLC). The council exists to promote
scholarship, mentorship, and networking within the women’s community
at Ross. As a Ross graduate, you will belong to a global community
of more than 40,000 business school alumni. Additionally, the
University of Michigan has one of the world’s largest living alumni
network at some half a million strong.
Opportunities for Prospective Students
We encourage prospective
students to
connect with
women at Ross. Select from more than 50 current female students who
are willing to talk with you about their experience as women at
Ross, address your concerns, or answer any questions you may have.
Forté Foundation
Ross is a member of the
Forté Foundation,
a consortium of top business schools and companies dedicated to
directing talented women toward leadership roles in business. Ross
Forté Fellows participate in the annual Forté conference. Each fall,
Ross participates in Forté forums across the United States.
Ross Women’s
Week
Join Ross women in cities across the United States for Women's
Week in mid-October. This week of informal receptions and events
will allow you to create meaningful connections with the Ross
women's community, explore the value of the MBA for women, and hear
directly from our alumnae in a casual setting.
Ross Empowering Women
Ross Empowering Women, is a one day, on-campus event designed
to show you how to maximize the MBA application experience and gain
insights about the Ross MBA from the perspective of female students
and faculty. Get in-depth information about MAP, our institutes and
centers, clubs, recruiting, and other aspects of life at Ross. The
next Empowering Women event will take place in October 2012.
Café Chats
It is often difficult for prospective women in distant cities
or countries to travel to Ann Arbor in order to really get a feel
for the community. Current students travel for holidays, MAP and
study abroad and make themselves available to meet with you
one-on-one or in small groups for coffee and an informal chat.
Please check our
Meet Ross Students page for information on Women’s Café Chats.
Women’s Super Interview
The Ross Office of Admissions hosts a Women’s
Super Interview event in the second application round for select
applicants. This event includes opportunities to engage with
alumnae, current students, and admissions staff.
