Many Voices Conference: Perspectives on Diversity
Friday-Saturday, October 6-7, 2006
This event is a joint initiative hosted by the Asian Society (AS), Black Business Students Association (BBSA), Hispanic Business Students Association (HBSA), and the MBA Admissions Office. Many Voices provides an opportunity for perspective admits to: meet GSB alumni, students, faculty, and staff; learn about the unique opportunities that the Stanford MBA Program provides; and gain insight into the admission process.
At the Stanford Graduate School of Business, we look for diversity in the broadest possible terms, encompassing (but not limited to) educational and professional backgrounds, personal experiences and goals, culture, socioeconomic status, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and nationality. The Many Voices event provides an opportunity for prospective applicants who bring such diversity to the Stanford GSB community to learn more about the Stanford GSB. All prospective students are invited to attend.
Some highlights of this event include: MBA class immersion experience, student life panel lunch with current students, and a social activity with GSB representatives.
