RECRUITMENT AND SCHOLARSHIPS/FELLOWSHIPS

What programs and initiatives has your school found successful in the recruitment of minority and/or female students?
The MBA full-time program at Georgetown University’s McDonough School of Business participates in special, targeted events for minority students as
a partner of the Management Leadership for Tomorrow organization. In addition, the school hosts a special open house during the fall semester for
prospective minority students. It also recruits current minority students in the MBA program to assist the admissions team with calls to admitted
minority students.

The Georgetown MBA Program also participates in events for women as a sponsor school of the Forté Foundation. In addition, it hosts a special open
house during the fall semester for female prospective students in conjunction with Georgetown Women in Business.

The school’s partnership with the Forté Foundation is part of its larger ambition to enable talented women to excel in business and become leaders in
their fields. Through this partnership and participation in organizations such as Management Leadership for Tomorrow and the Diversity Pipeline
Alliance, it seeks to broaden our outreach and support to future women MBAs. Each year, Georgetown MBA hosts a variety of events during which
prospective female applicants may interact with the school’s current students and alumnae. In addition, the school awards several Forté scholarships
per year to help women finance their graduate business education.

As leaders of the Student Government Association and student organizations, women at Georgetown make decisions which help shape the future of
the Georgetown MBA program as well as their classmates’ experiences. They are provided opportunities to expand their skills and networks through
participation in Georgetown Women in Business, a robust chapter of the National Association of Women MBAs, which addresses issues specifically
relevant to businesswomen and builds career and networking opportunities through formal and informal events. Additionally, through forums hosted
by the Georgetown University Women’s Leadership Initiative, students can hear directly from women business leaders about cutting edge practices and
trends.
