Our exciting MBA Guest Lecture Series continues on Friday 10 March 2023, covering the important topics of diversity and inclusion with a focus on women in leadership.
The free event, hosted by MBA Course Director, Debbie Kemp, will run from 12.30pm until 14.00pm (GMT) on Zoom and will include panel discussions, insightful guest speakers and time for breakout sessions and Q&A.
It will be led by Kent MBA Women in Leadership Scholar, Lola Osideko-Johnson in conjunction with two of this year’s full-time MBA students, Soumashree Chandra and Inetina Ebitonmor (pictured above).
Details of the guest speaker(s) will be released shortly; however, it is no coincidence that the lecture is timed to coincide with International Women’s Day. This year’s IWD campaign theme is #EmbraceEquity.
“Equity isn’t just a nice-to-have, it’s a must have. A focus on gender equity needs to be part of every society’s DNA. And it’s critical to understand the difference between equity and equality. When we embrace equity, we embrace diversity, and we embrace inclusion.”
This subject will feature heavily in the talks of the guest speakers, where we will learn how they promote diversity and inclusion in their careers. Are you in? Will you come and embrace equity with us?
This is a free event and is open to all University of Kent MBA students, alumni and the wider business community. Register your place today.
Lola, Soumashree and Inetina are undertaking our AMBA-accredited MBA. The course is underpinned by our high-quality research and informed by the global outlook of our international community. It builds on your current experience to transform you into a responsible business leader.
Imagine a gender equal world. A world free of bias, stereotypes, and discrimination. A world that’s diverse, equitable, and inclusive. A world where difference is valued and celebrated. Together we can forge women’s equality. Collectively we can all #EmbraceEquity.
