Office of Diversity Affairs

Since the mid-1980s, Chicago GSB has had a director and staff dedicated to the support of underrepresented minorities. The Office of Diversity Affairs (ODA) leads our efforts, serving as a liaison between students, Chicago GSB offices, and corporate partners to provide unique programming that compliments both the educational and recruiting experiences for underrepresented students including African American, Latino, Native American, women as well as gays and lesbians.

ODA’s Goals

increase recruitment, enrollment, and retention of minority students at the GSB
educate the GSB community about the importance and value of diversity through educational, personal, and cross-cultural activities for all students
serve as a resource for individual students, student groups, and administrative departments in their efforts to accomplish a diverse set of opportunities and experiences for all members of the GSB community
cultivate relationships with corporations to attract and secure additional funding and career opportunities for underrepresented students
build a network of alumni, corporate partners, and other friends of the school to assist in the support, employment, financial assistance and overall success of underrepresented students at the GSB.
