 "Every top tier business school gives you the basic technical tools, but the Johnson School has given me an increased understanding of my leadership skills and the ability to take a holistic approach to solving problems," says Elizabeth Schrader '04, who worked at P&G and with an Internet startup before joining the Johnson School. "When I first arrived, I wasn't sure I could do this. I had been out of school for nine years and I had a lot of diverse experiences. But I found that I did have experiences that were relevant and I found myself being challenged on many different levels."More  |
Women in Business
Although numbers are rising, the population of our nation's top 15 full-time MBA programs remains predominantly male. At the Johnson School, we are proud of our continued efforts to increase our percentage of women in each class. Currently, our 2-year MBA program is comprised of 39% women in the class of 2010 and 28% in the class of 2009.
The Johnson School's programs in support of women in business include our partnerships with the Forté Foundation and GMAC to reach more prospective women and encourage them to apply to business school; and our Women's Power Lunch series for current students to network with each other, female faculty and prominent alumnae.
We also partner with student clubs & organizations such as the Johnson School Women's Management Council and undergraduate student clubs at Cornell's College of Engineering and The College of Agriculture and Life Sciences to hold events and reach out to prospective students.
