Full-Time MBA Diversity & Inclusion
We believe that an inclusive atmosphere benefits all members of the Simon community.
That’s why we’ve committed to creating an environment where all students flourish. The Office of Student Engagement fosters inclusion and a strong sense of community through our orientation events, semesterly kick offs, our wide breadth of student clubs and activities, and through our community outreach programs. There are so many ways to get involved and become a part of what makes Simon special.
Orientation Program
Simon’s weeklong orientation program is filled with activities that go beyond bonding. This is where you’ll begin developing or expanding upon your leadership skills by discovering more about yourself and your abilities, appreciating the insights of contributions of others, and taking advantage of your first opportunities to lead others as a Simon student. Global awareness (appreciating and honoring diversity)
