In an age of globalization, unprecedented interconnectedness, and hyper-efficiency, the business world is changing to keep pace. What began as a space dominated by white men from wealthy backgrounds has shifted to include people from all walks of life—all in the efforts of reaching maximum innovation. In other words, CEOs, world leaders, and employees everywhere have finally realized that in order to reach the best and most cutting-edge solutions, diversity is paramount.

​

This is why Business Oriented Women has developed the Diversity & Inclusion Committee, which is tasked with diversifying BOW’s member base, building meaningful connections with other diverse organizations on campus (Black in Business, Mi Gente, International Association, etc.), and frequently opening up important D&I-related dialogue with members so that D&I is not just something we look for in applicants, but maintain among members. We firmly believe that diversity and inclusion—in terms of race, religion, ethnicity, sexuality, thought, and interest—is a key part of the industry, and we want to ensure that our members are ready to thrive in the business world of tomorrow.
