Cornell's Johnson School is a training ground for tomorrow's global business leaders who can simplify complex, fast-changing situations, mobilize others to action, and get results. As the world becomes increasingly diverse, the Johnson School community must reflect the changing demographics of the global marketplace in order to develop effective leaders for that world. During Johnson Means Business, we are reaching out to those men and women who are of African- American, Native American, and Hispanic descent or others representing diverse backgrounds and interests to encourage them to come to the Johnson School for their MBA studies. I look forward to personally welcoming you to Ithaca and Cornell.
