RECRUITMENT AND SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS

What programs and initiatives has your school found successful in the recruitment of minority and/or female students?
The Carroll School of Management participates in Forté Foundation events, such as Forté Forums, to recruit prospective female students.

In addition, the Carroll School is a partner with 85 Broads. Says its website, 85 Broads is “a global network community of 18,000 trailblazing women
who want to leverage each other’s connections, relationships and intellectual capital to increase the ‘return’ on their investment in their education,
families and careers.

“Founded in 1997, 85 Broads was launched by Janet Hanson as an independent network for current and former Goldman Sachs women (the name
being a humorous play on Goldman’s headquarters address, 85 Broad Street in Manhattan). In 2000, Janet invited women at the leading graduate
business schools to join the network, regardless of chosen career path, and in 2004, extended the invitation of membership to women at the leading
colleges and universities worldwide. Together, these women make up the most powerful, intellectually savvy network of women in the world. Members
of this multigenerational and culturally diverse network work for over 1000 companies and live in 72 countries.”

The Carroll School of Management is also a member of the National Society for Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA)’s University Partnership Program, in order
to recruit prospective students. The NSHMBA website describes the organization as the premier Hispanic organization; it says: “NSHMBA serves 32
chapters and over 7,000 members (includes three chapters in formation) in the United States and Puerto Rico. It exists to foster Hispanic leadership
through graduate management education and professional development. NSHMBA works to prepare Hispanics for leadership positions throughout
the United States, so that they can provide the cultural awareness and sensitivity vital in the management of the nation’s diverse work force.” With
regards to education, the website says, “Developing and delivering educational programs which prepare Hispanics for admittance into graduate
management schools, NSHMBA is focused on supporting the successful completion of advanced degrees.”

The Carroll School of Management is also a partner with the PhD Project and participates in PhD Project events to recruit minority graduate business
students. According to the PhD Project website, the organization’s “mission is to increase the diversity of corporate America by increasing the diversity
of business school faculty. We attract African-Americans, Hispanic-Americans and Native Americans to business PhD programs, and provide a network
of peer support on their journey to becoming professors. As faculty, they serve as role models attracting and mentoring minority students while
improving the preparation of all students for our diverse workplace and society.”

This course explores challenges and opportunities women face as leaders and managers in organizations. Students will examine a variety of issues:
the call and character of women leaders, leadership issues throughout women’s careers, essential skills and competencies, balancing work and family,

and managers and guest speakers who will provide us with insights about their own experiences.

In today’s world, there are many challenges that call for effective leadership. Corporate ethics scandals, an increasingly global and diverse work force
and the need for employees to experience renewed meaning and connection to their work are just a few examples. How we respond to these
challenges can profoundly change the world in which we live and work. In this course, we learn about the challenges and opportunities of effective
leadership and how leaders, including ourselves, can respond to them.

United Nations Global Compact Meeting
Executives and academics gathered at Boston College in June 2008 to examine how to include U.N. principles in management systems and
responsible business practices.

During the two-day retreat, some 14 global business leaders and several leading academics are examining ways businesses can align their operations
and strategies with the U.N. Global Compact’s 10 principles designed to guide business in the areas of the environment, anticorruption, human rights
and labor. The Boston College Center is organizing the meeting in association with the U.N. Global Compact, represented by Manuel Escudero, head
of networks and academic initiatives; and Steve Rochlin, head of North America for AccountAbility, a U.K.-based organization that promotes responsible
business practices.

The U.N. Global Compact, established in 2000, is the largest global corporate citizenship initiative in the world. Its objective is to encourage businesses
to advance universal social and environmental principles. When the U.N. in 2007 created the Principles for Responsible Management Education
Initiative, Boston College’s Carroll School of Management was one of the first business schools to sign on.

The U.N. Global Compact’s 10 principles recommend that businesses:

• Support and respect the protection of internationally proclaimed human rights;

• Make sure that they are not complicit in human rights abuses;
• Uphold the freedom of association and the effective recognition of the right to collective bargaining;
• Eliminate all forms of forced and compulsory labor;
• Abolish child labor;
• Eliminate discrimination in respect to employment and occupation;

113

• Support a precautionary approach to environmental challenges;

• Undertake initiatives to promote greater environmental responsibility;
• Encourage the development and diffusion of environmentally friendly technologies; and
• Work against corruption in all its forms, including extortion and bribery.

Activating Democracy: How Grassroots Movements Can Revolutionize Politics

Over 175 students, faculty, alumni and business practitioners engaged in dialogue on January 28, 2008, with Massachusetts Lt. Governor Tim Murray,
Boston College Professor Charles Derber and president of FONDACA Professor Giovanni Moro from Rome, Italy. Only 54 percent of those eligible to
vote in America have exercised that right in the past nine elections. Several questions were discussed: Are Americans disillusioned by the political
parties or the electoral process? Do we trust the media for accurate information? Civic involvement in democracy emerged as a critical issue based
on the questions and comments. What can you do to be an active citizen?

Navigating the Journey

The Carroll School of Management Graduate Women in Business Club hosted Navigating the Journey, a special event featuring the Council for Women

Women for Hire

According to its website, “Women For Hire career expos are high-caliber recruiting events that enable talented women in all fields to meet
directly with recruiters and hiring managers from top employers. Whether you’re an experienced professional with several years of experience
under your belt or a graduating college student, these one-day events are an ideal chance to launch or advance your career.

115
Vault/CGSM Guide to Business School Diversity, 2010 Edition

Boston College (Carroll)

“Diversity is in many ways reflective of our present world order. Diversity as a mode of social existence can be projected in ways that deepen
the range of human experience. The conference will seek to explore the full range of what diversity means and explore modes of diversity
in real-life situations of living/working together in community. The conference supports a move away from simple affirmations that ‘diversity
is good’ to a much more account of the effects and uses of diversity on differently situated communities in the context of our current epoch
of globalization.”

In addition, the Carroll School’s many student clubs organize networking and recruiting events for their members. Below are examples of such events.

Asian Business Society Internship and Career Planning Day

This event will tell you what you need to know to build and develop your career plan. It will answer questions you have on the job market
situation. It will tell you what interviewers look for in candidates and what pitfalls students get themselves into. It will show you how
colleagues in your situation have found internships and jobs in the past and much more. It’s also an opportunity for you to extend your
growing network, get in touch with many of the successful Asian professionals as well as meet and exchange ideas with your fellow
classmates and our guest speakers.

BC Women: Building a Bridge

On Monday, November 12th, the Carroll School’s Graduate Women in Business hosted its first MBA reunion panel, featuring alumni from

and-answer session particularly helpful, as it was a great chance to learn about what to expect postgraduation.

STRATEGIC PLAN AND LEADERSHIP

How does your school’s leadership communicate the importance of diversity to your student body, faculty and administration?
Office for institutional diversity

culture and climate that fully welcomes diversity and inclusiveness for all members of the Boston College community.

Please provide any additional information regarding your school’s diversity initiatives that you wish to share.
We believe that to prepare effective business leaders, the whole person must be developed. In addition to equipping students with the managerial and
analytical tools they need to lead, we help develop a student’s ability to critically problem solve in a values-based atmosphere by continually exposing
them to intellectual and ethical challenges via the curriculum.

Because a diverse perspective provides the richest basis for learning, our environment is purposefully constructed to bring together people who possess
a variety of personal and professional experiences. Professors create dynamic academic goals for students. To reach these goals, students must
individually contribute as well as commit to intense teamwork. During this process, they are constantly exposed to new ideas and problem-solving
experiences. This is where much of the real learning takes place.
