Gender Equity: Counting vs. Culture
Description:
Equal Pay Day, female business majors, diversity hiring statistics– all are numbers and percentages we watch closely to see if we are nearing gender equity in the business world. But numbers only tell part of a story. This interactive session puts you in the student seat as together, company and school reps participate in a facilitated case study which explores what gender equity looks like beyond what is quantifiable. Following the case, session attendees will collaborate to share activities or actions that they have successfully employed, or are thinking about enacting, to empower women students and attract top female talent.
