DIVERSITY, EMPOWERMENT & INCLUSION
WHO WE ARE
DEI is a committee that aims to address the challenges that women face when entering the workplace and empowers them to identify and tackle these issues. We hope to bring to light the challenges that can differ for women from different backgrounds and how empowerment can look very different on an individual basis. Our committee works to partner with various diversity organizations on campus (Latin Business Organization, Black in Business, Duke Disability Alliance, Center for Multicultural Affairs, International Association, and more) to foster meaningful relationships with groups that understand and are tackling some of the same issues as us. Our goal is to make BOW an inclusive organization that is sensitive to these issues and proactive about making impactful change within BOW and in the workplace.
