WATERBURY, Conn – (March 13, 2024) – The Malcolm Baldrige School of Business at Post University has been distinguished with the 2024 Inspiring Programs in Business Award by Insight Into Diversity magazine, a publication dedicated to diversity and inclusion in higher education. This accolade recognizes educational institutions that actively foster and support students from underrepresented backgrounds in pursuing careers in business. The Malcolm Baldrige School of Business was one of 27 recipients.
This recognition is a result of the school’s efforts to inspire a new generation of diverse talent to explore and embrace opportunities in the business field. The winners were carefully chosen based on their initiatives in mentoring, teaching, research, and the implementation of successful programs that encourage students from underrepresented groups to consider and pursue business careers.
Stephanie Caban, the program chair of management and chief diversity officer at the University’s business school, elaborated on the school’s proactive approach over the past three years. “Beginning with a comprehensive audit and revamp of 15 undergraduate and graduate courses, we emphasized the integration of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion (DEI) principles into course assignments, readings, and discussion boards,” explained Caban.
Furthermore, the business school took strides in enhancing diversity within its 17 advisory boards.
