Women's Management Council (WMC)
The Women’s Management Council (WMC) is dedicated to fostering a supportive, encouraging community that aims to address relevant topics concerning women.
Now more than ever, women are transforming the world of business. ODI supports women as they become leaders, and helps all students understand the nature of gender inequity, and the tools that can spark positive change. We work closely with the Women’s Management Council (WMC) and maintain partnerships with organizations such as the Forté Foundation to offer engaging personal development programs, and foster community among our female students.
Monthly casual conversations with Johnson women-identified faculty, staff, and students over lunch.
Some of the topics discussed have been imposter syndrome, boundary setting, showing up for other women, authenticity, and microaggressions.
Monthly symposium by faculty, staff, and alumni on topics relevant to women in
business. Some of the topics that have been highlighted include pivoting careers, women in the military, negotiating, research on gender discrimination, gender pay equity, and more.
Each March, in collaboration with the Women’s Management Council, ODI hosts multiple events that highlight the contributions of women in business and celebrate the Women of Johnson. Some of these events are a women’s alumni panel, a Fiery Chat on gender equity, a Sage Social celebrating women and more.
