GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY'S MCDONOUGH SCHOOL OF BUSINESS Founded in 1789, Georgetown is the nation's oldest Catholic university. The McDonough School of Business has built on this tradition and, in the two decades since its foundation, has risen to become a top-tier graduate business program. Women represented in every graduating class since the school’s inception have played a vital role in the program’s development and success.
Our partnership with Forté Foundation is part of our larger ambition to enable talented women to excel in business and become leaders in their fields. Through participation in Forté and organizations such as Management Leadership for Tomorrow, we seek to broaden our outreach and support to future women MBAs. Georgetown MBA hosts a variety of intimate brunches and bi-annual Women in Business Forums through which you may interact with students and alumnae. All women are considered for merit-based scholarships, including the Forté Fellows program. As student leaders, our women make meaningful decisions that shape the future of the School as well as their classmates’ experiences. Students expand their skills and networks through participation in Georgetown Women in Business, a robust chapter of the National Association of Women MBAs, which addresses issues specifically relevant to businesswomen. Through events hosted by the Georgetown University Women’s Leadership Initiative, students can hear directly from women business leaders about cutting-edge practices and trends. We encourage you to experience the Georgetown MBA program personally. Learn more and plan your visit at msb.georgetown.edu/forte.

One way that these women make a difference at HBS is through the Women’s Student Association (WSA). The WSA’s mission is to connect and support all women at HBS through mentoring programs, networking events, speaker series, the annual conference, and social events across sections and with other schools and organizations; to promote the diversity of women's achievements and contributions; to work with the HBS administration to make sure that issues that are relevant to women are being addressed; and to lay the foundations of a powerful network of female business leaders and connect current students to HBS alumnae. Each January, the WSA hosts The Dynamic Women in Business Conference which brings together over 1,000 women across many industries and functions to promote women in business.

As a leading center for innovative teaching, research and discourse on women, leadership and management, the SOM offers a demanding management education to women MBA and undergraduate students. We are committed to the advancement of knowledge and practice in management through excellence in education and research. Our academic programs offer rigorous, applied, management education designed for women. We focus on leadership, and our programs integrate the strategic, functional, and behavioral aspects of management. SOM students gain the knowledge, analytical skills, and confidence that they need to manage successfully in dynamic and global environments. We are invested in each student’s success and support her as she launches, advances, and/or changes her career.
The Simmons School of Management has established the premier Leadership Conference for Women. In 1979, a small group of Simmons School of Management alumnae decided to organize an annual event that would be part reunion, part continuing education. The result: the school’s first professional development conference that brought together 150 or so women business leaders from the Boston area. Hugely successful, the conference immediately became a local institution and a prime networking event. Now with such high-profile keynote speakers as Oprah, Queen Latifah, Christiane Amanpour, Dr. Maya Angelou and this year, Gloria Estefan, attendance draws an international audience- not only Simmons alumnae, but also the general public. Working Woman magazine has declared the event "one of the top conferences for your money!"
The SOM has also established the innovative Center for Gender Organizations where we analyze how gender is embedded in an organization's work practices and culture. Analyzing an organization through a gender lens creates opportunities to identify systems, practices, and norms that make it difficult for different groups of women (and often men) to be optimally effective. Our work with many organizations shows that performance is enhanced by gender equitable workplaces that enable both women and men to be productive contributors.
