This year's priorities include: Entrepreneurship Initiative, Case Writing, Diversity, and the Center for Gender in Organizations. We provide delicious refreshments, good spirit, and great prizes to our volunteer callers.

Simmons School of Management - News Items – February 5, 2004 NEWS CGO Receives
Diversity Leadership Award from the Women's Transportation Seminar (WTS)
SOM Professor Dr. Deborah Kolb and the Simmons School of Management Executive Education Program continue to receive media attention for the three-day Negotiation Edge workshop. Featured last November in the Wall Street Journal, they have recently appeared in the Chicago Sun-Times, Salt Lake Tribune, and Sun News (Myrtle Beach, SC). The article’s author, Joann S. Lublin, participated in the workshop led by Kolb, and reported on the strategy and goals of the program and its participants. The Teen Girls on Business Study by the Simmons School of Management and The Committee of 200 (C200) continues to appear in the media nationwide. Recently, the Study was referenced in the Holbrook (AZ) Tribune-News, Intelligencer Journal (Lancaster, PA), and Magic 106.7 FM Boston. Released in October 2002, the ground-breaking Teen Girls on Business study examined the key factors affecting girls' attitudes to their careers and their perceptions of business, and how these attitudes and perceptions differ from those of boys as well as across girls of diverse racial/ethnic groups. Also identified were key sources of influence - media, family, and education - affecting teen girls in their career aspirations. Stacy Blake-Beard, Ph.D., SOM Professor and Research Faculty at the Center for Gender in Organizations, continues to receive press coverage for her research on the growing importance of women mentors. Blake-Beard’s study was most recently referenced in the article “Mentors, employees team up for success in the workplace” appearing in the Lincoln (NE) Journal-Star. According to Blake-Beard’s study, the number of women receiving mentoring assistance from other women is rising, and this “may signal that more women are in positions where they may act as mentors.” EVENTS MBA Preview
