Women in Business Program
Women in Business
The women of K-State today will be the future changemakers, CEOs, and business leaders of tomorrow. The K-State College of Business strives to foster an inclusive learning environment for students throughout their time at K-State and beyond. As a part of our strategic plan for diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging, we are proud to launch the Women in Business Initiative.
Hosted by the Center for Principled Business, this initiative serves current college students, alumni, working professionals, as well as regional high school students. The Women in Business Initiative fosters a network of innovation and collaboration through academic and co-curricular learning opportunities, and supports business research related to the broader goals of the initiative. The Women in Business Initiative works to educate, empower, and engage leaders, to create social and economic impact and enhance societal prosperity.
Goals of the Women in Business Initiative
The mission of the Center for Principled Business is to engage in teaching and research activities that develop business leaders and enhance societal prosperity. Through our work in economic education, entrepreneurship and innovation, and business ethics, we offer academic and co-curricular programming to advance opportunities for women in the workplace. Research shows that company profits and share performance can be nearly 50 percent higher when women are well- represented in leadership (McKinsey & Company, 2020). We are committed to empowering individuals to break barriers that stand in the way of realizing their full potential.
