Women's Community
There are various events and networking opportunities for women at Carlson. Student Affairs hosts a Women’s Affinity Networking Night to connect with prospective students, current students (online, Part-Time, and Full-Time), and alumni; various networking opportunities with Graduate Women in Business (GWIB, for Full-Time MBA women), Carlson Women’s Network (CWN, for Part-Time MBA women), Carlson Women Global Connect (Alumni Women), and the undergraduates' Women in Business (WIB); and other organizations host women-specific events to expose students to women working in various industries.
The Carlson Women Global Connect alumni affinity network at the Carlson School seeks to foster a culture of lifelong engagement and build a community of alumni dedicated to helping one another succeed. The network provides opportunities for alumni to network, engage in lifelong learning, connect with current students, and advance their careers, all while supporting one another.
