Industry is demanding that college graduates possess an awareness and vocabulary around DEIB in the workplace. The question higher education now grapples with is, how can we prepare the next generation of business leaders to tackle the hard and contemporary problems of the present day?
For ten days in January a small group of William & Mary students crisscrossed Washington, DC and met with dozens of professionals who drive change in the diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging (DEIB) space.
As conversations around diversity, inclusion, equity, and belonging permeate every corner of the professional working world, the Mason School is ensuring its students are equipped with the requisite vocabulary through a batch of new, free resources offered through the McLeod Library.
On Friday, November 5th, The MBAA International Student Association (ISA) hosted a Global Culture Night with support from the Raymond A. Mason School of Business Diversity & Inclusion Committee and MBA Programs Office.
