As the first top business school to have a dedicated office focused on supporting the rising generation of women, underrepresented minority (URM) and LGBTQ leaders, we are pleased to invite candidates from diverse backgrounds to engage with us through several events designed to provide opportunities to learn more about the community, culture, and values that exist within the Johnson community.
Johnson partners with several organizations and foundations to expand opportunities for diverse MBA students including The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management, Forté, Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT), Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA), and Toigo Foundation. Additional information regarding our partnerships and support for diverse students is available on our Office of Diversity & Inclusion website.
Johnson Diversity Hosting Weekend is our premier diversity hosting event scheduled for October 27 – 28 in Ithaca, NY open to women, underrepresented candidates, members of the LGBTQ+ community, and allies. Participants will have the opportunity to learn about the ways in which we support women and underrepresented candidates in business.
Connect with our Admissions Team and alumni during these upcoming affinity partner events:
Our diversity dinners and brunches provide you with a unique experience to connect with Cornell MBA graduates over dinner or brunch. You’ll learn more about the experience and student life at Johnson as well as the key takeaways that our alumni have brought with them to the workplace.
There are no events scheduled at this time, as they have concluded for the season.
Our commitment to supporting diverse students begins from the start of your admissions experience. We invite you to schedule a 15 minute consultation with an admissions team member prior to submitting your application to gain a deeper understanding of the resources available to our students as well as the steps you can be taking to present yourself successfully in the admissions process.
To schedule your consultation, please review and select one of the appointment times listed within the event calendars below. Should you have any questions, please contact mba@johnson.cornell.edu.
