Diversity Admissions Events
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.
