Diversity Workshop - The Business Case for Diversity & Inclusion
Many of you have suggested partnering with the Full-Time and Executive MBA students to host diversity workshops and events, so we are working to make that happen. In the meantime, we wanted to share some info about this upcoming diversity workshop hosted by the MBAA this Wednesday, April 27th. The speaker, Nicole Sanchez, Haas EWMBA alumna (YES! One of our own) VP of Social Impact at GitHub, and future Haas professor, would love to have some EW folks attend. Nicole will lead a workshop on why diversity & inclusion are critical to the success of businesses.Read more
Got Dirty, Entered Full #beyondyourself Mode
Challenge 4 Charity, the organization/competition that facilitates fundraising and volunteerism at nine West Coast B-schools, is alive and well at Haas. Manav, Leslie, Thulasi, Jonathan, Mark, and Dave made sure of that.
Sunday, March 20, seven souls braved the elements in Alameda to tend to Ploughsares Nursery, a commerce arm of Alameda Point Collaborative that grows and sells flowers, herbs, and other outdoor items (e.g. pottery) and uses all proceeds to help low-income families break the pull of poverty. We worked on projects ranging from beatifying the land to setting up the spring planting season, which allows the regular staff there to focus on driving income that feeds the families.Read more
20th Women in Leadership Conference - We Mean Business!
Fun fact: Women earn almost 60% of undergraduate degrees and are 47% of the U.S. labor force.
Not so fun fact: Yet, they are only 8.1% of top earners and 4.6% of Fortune 500 CEOs.
Join us at the 20 th Women in Leadership Conference to celebrate the good numbers and discuss how we can help change the not-so-good ones.Read more
Help With Diversity Outreach Initiatives
Many of you have expressed interest in being more actively engaged with diversity related initiatives so, in the spirit of our “Beyond Yourself” defining principle, here is your opportunity to contribute. Over the next few months we will be conducting several diversity outreach initiatives, including the yearly Berkeley Haas Diversity Symposium. The goal is to reach out to women and underrepresented minorities that would be a great fit for the EWMBA, making this program even more HAASOME – yes, I just used the word. We can help increase the success and impact of these events by assisting with organization, spreading the word to increase attendance or… JUST SHOWING UP!Read more
Thanks to Our Diversity Champs!
We wanted to thank those of you who signed up to help with the diversity outreach efforts here at HAAS. We believe diversity enriches our student experience and elevates our class discussions. The level of response you have demonstrated shows that you share our passion for gender, social, racial and LGBT inclusion. We currently have 36 volunteers, of which 50% volunteered to go above and beyond and even share their personal experiences. With your help, we hope to plan and execute several diversity initiatives, the first of which is right around the corner. The Berkeley Diversity Symposium will take place on October 14-15 at Haas and its main goal is to showcase the diversity of the various Berkeley MBA programs to prospective students. Over the next few days we will send you an email posting additional information on the symposium. We count on you to help spread the word via email, word of mouth and social media.Read more
