It's our first blog post of the year, but hopefully not our last. We have a few exciting intiatives planned for the fall and would love your help in bringing them to fruition. Below you can find the link to the volunteer application along with more details about each of the initatives.
Sincerely,
Your VPs of Diversity - Badier, Brian, & Melanie

Virtual Fireside Chats
These virtual chats are designed to be informal information sessions held by current students to give prospective students of various backgrounds an opportunity to meet and hear from students that look like them.
Goals of the Virtual Fireside Chats:
- Make EWMBA & EMBA students and alumni more accessible to prospective students
- Demystify the application process
- Reduce the intimidation factor associated with the Berkeley-Haas name to students of diverse backgrounds
- Promote the EWMBA/EMBA Diversity Summit
Diversity Summit for Working Professionals
A day long event where ~50 prospective students that identify as one of the underrepresented populations at Haas will have an opportunity to learn more about academics at Haas, the application process, and the BerkeleyHaas family.
Goals of the Diversity Summit:
- For prospective students to be able to envision what attending Haas might be like for them
- To create a stronger connection between underrepresented prospective students and underrepresented current students and alumni
- Enable students who have attended a Virtual Fireside Chat session to connect in person
- Saturday, October 28th, 10:45 AM - 7:00 PM
