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 kickoffs, our wide breadth of student organizations 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.
Simon’s 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. You’ll also:
- Begin expanding upon your global awareness and appreciation for diversity
- Have opportunities to give back to the community in collaboration with your fellow students
- Explore business ethics and how to integrate them in your career
Diversity & Educational Clubs
Friendships and personal connections are an integral part of the educational experience. Our clubs are vital part of life at Simon, helping you share your cultural perspective with its challenges and strengths, as well as your unique personal experiences, so you can broaden your worldview and connect with others to become not only a better leader, but the best version of yourself.
