BGS students are invited to attend, “Inclusion and Diversity: Perspectives from Business,” the next installment in the BGS Professional Skills Series. The workshop will take place February 27, 2019 from 4 – 5:30 PM in Smilow 12-146AB. It is co-hosted by SACNAS and EE Just.

Light refreshments will be served.

Dr. Laura Roberts, Teaching Professor of Management (McDonough School of Business, Georgetown University) will present an interactive lecture that includes illustrative cases and large group discussion. Dr. Roberts will tackle the question, “How can leaders facilitate generative dialogue that harnesses the power of inquiry, encourages learning from diverse experiences and fuels positive organizing?” Specific strategies for building an asset-based (potential-focused) perspective and an action plan for inclusive leadership will be addressed.

Key topics of discussion will include:

• How diversity and inclusion factor into strategic decisions
• Best practices and common pitfalls at leading inclusive businesses
