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:

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.
