The October general body meeting will be dedicated to a discussion on diversity and will be the kick-off of the Consortium Club’s name change initiative.

A leading goal for our organization this academic year is to increase membership and enhance diversity initiatives and address diversity issues within the Wisconsin School of Business. Based on surveyed results, a major concern and barrier to this has been the impression of exclusivity that the current name of the organization presents to our community at large. To address this concern, we would like your thoughts on a new name for the organization. Join us in an open and rich dialogue on the history if the Consortium Club, its role in diversity, and the best way to preserve the legacy of the organization within a new name. ALL MBA students are welcome and encouraged to attend.

Any questions about the event can be directed to Kari Caesar (caesar@wisc.edu). Hope to see you there!
