Women & the MBA: Workshop for Prospective Women MBA Students

Don’t miss out on a great opportunity to explore life as a woman in the Smith MBA program!

Women are starting to catch up to their male counterparts in MBA programs as well as the business community. Getting an MBA is a crucial part in advancing your career to an executive level; especially for women. It is ever so important to inform women of their academic options as more and more women apply and enroll into business schools. Therefore, we have tailored a special event for women that are considering pursuing an MBA degree.

The Women & the MBA Workshop is sponsored by the Smith Association of Women MBA’s and the Keynote speaker will be Dr. Joyce Russell. Russell will be discussing the importance of Taking Charge of your Career: Negotiation Strategies for Women. Russell is a licensed Industrial and Organizational Psychologist and has over 20 years of experience consulting with both private and public sector organizations. Her expertise is primarily in the areas of leadership and management development, negotiation tactics, executive coaching, training, career development, and work teams. She also is a Ralph J. Tyser Distinguished Teaching Fellow in the Robert H. Smith School of Business at the University of Maryland.

The workshop will also provide you with the opportunity to listen and ask questions to a panel of women students and alumni discussing the myths of being a woman in the MBA program. You will also have a chance to meet and network with other prospective students, current students, alumni, faculty and staff.

Whether your passion is community development, financial investments, entrepreneurship or social marketing – an MBA from the Robert H. Smith School of Business will prepare you for your future goals. At Smith, our emphasis on globalization, entrepreneurship, and technology prepares all of our graduates to manage in unpredictable markets.
