Happy International Women's Day

It's International Women's Day, and we're so excited to celebrate with you!

At the Carlson School, we strive to create a welcoming and inclusive environment for women in business. We're equipping women with the opportunities, skills, and know-how to thrive in all roles and levels. This work is supported through our three pillars of Access, Empowerment, and Progression. We provide funds, programming, and research that open doors for women to get a world-class business education.

What does International Women's Day mean to you?

We asked a Master of Marketing student from the Carlson School of Management what female leadership means to her.
