Welcome to the
Women's Initiative at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business
Welcome new and returning students
attending Ross this fall! The Women’s Initiative and the Michigan
Business Women Clubs (MBA ad BBA) have many events and programs in the
ensuing months, and we encourage you to visit our events calendar to
check them out. We’d love to have your participation.
One event, in particular, you’ll want to attend is the 17th Annual Women
in Leadership Conference. The conference, “Creating Your Sustainable
Advantage,” will be held in the Stephen M. Ross School of Business new
building and begins with “Cocktail Connections” on Thursday, October 8,
2009, evening. The conference follows on Friday, October 9, 2009, and
both the Thursday reception and Friday conference are open to all Ross
MBA students. Please check the conference website for more details on
this exciting event:

Leadership Conference 2009
Along with our events and programs, the Women’s Initiative also offers
counseling and much more. Some of the goals we focus on are:
• Educating our students to operate and succeed in the infrastructure of
today’s business world, including helping them to evaluate the corporate
cultures to determine where their best fit may be.
• Developing gender-specific strengths; there are many skills that are
gender-specific as well as areas of opportunity for women, and we are
here to support their growth through programs, workshops, seminars, and
events.
• Educating students on the evolution of the business world and how—as
leaders—they can effect change and add the potency of diversity to that
world.
Overall the Women’s Initiative supports the women in the business school
through programming and provides a strong sense of community to all Ross
women. We invite you to stop by our office in E2420 and let us know what
we can do for you.
