Fall/Winter 2005: Diversity Events at Top MBA Programs

WHARTON was founded in 1881 as the first collegiate business school, and that spirit of innovation still drives us today. Wharton offers a distinctively collaborative MBA experience, unparalleled resources, and a commitment to learning and personal growth.

We bring together the world’s top faculty, students, alumni, and industry leaders in a dynamic and engaged community. This diversity of talent places you at the leading edge of new ideas that shape global practice in the business, non-profit, and government sectors.

Wharton is where you come when you aspire to learn more, do more, and be more.

Fall 2005 Diversity Events

At Goizueta Business School, we deeply value diversity in background, strengths, interests, and experiences. It is these differences that foster healthy debate and further our personal and professional development. We continually strive to contribute to the business community by providing perspective based on a range of ideas and practices, and our success will be measured by the inclusion of all voices. As the global community becomes more interdependent, we must balance minority and majority concerns to further our journey towards positive progress.
