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 new 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.
