Building an Inclusive Community in Leeds Graduate Programs
Get connected with Leeds graduate programs.
Despite progress in business organizational diversity, structural, cultural, and networking barriers still exist—limiting access to certain industries and slowing career advancement for many. One of the most powerful tools to overcome these barriers? A high-quality business education enriched with experiential projects, combined with the support of a strong, influential network.
Join us for an energizing webinar series that offers an inside look at our academic curriculum, career pathways after graduation, groundbreaking faculty research, and industry connections. You’ll hear directly from current students, alumni, faculty, and industry partners—all dedicated to supporting your success.
The Leeds Inclusive Community Webinar SeriesÌýaims to highlight the lived and individual experiences and achievements of graduate students, alumni and faculty from underrepresented backgrounds at the Leeds School of Business.ÌýThis event is open to all prospective graduate students and current applicants to Leeds Graduate Programs, and does not discriminate based on race, color, national origin, sex, age, disability, creed, religion, veteran status, marital status, political affiliation, political philosophy, pregnancy, sexual orientation, gender identity or gender expression in accordance with state, federal, and Regent law.
