Business Diversity Week at The George Washington University is a week of education and advanced preparation for students entering into the world of business. Being of a minority race, culture, gender or sexual preference may increase the risk of introducing prejudice to ones profile, making it difficult for the individual’s professional skills to remain the primary focus. Today’s economy has made it even more competitive for students to find internships and post-graduate jobs.

The Business Diversity Week events will prepare the individual by:

Strengthen and effectively expose personal brand.

Develop professional communication and networking skills.

Increase confidence and self-esteem.

Discover New & Trending Career Options.

Take advantage of local resources at GWU and in DC.
