An MBA with the Glass Ceiling in Sight
Here's a link to the Sept. 1
Financial Times profile of the Simmons School of Management, highlighting its cutting-edge mission
to educate women for power and principled leadership.
Dean Deborah Merrill-Sands talks about the importance of having an MBA program designed specifically for
women.
"Gender dynamics are real and they do impact your career and your opportunities," she said. " If you don't
understand them, you can be sidelined and end up paying a serious cost in terms of how your career
progresses. This knowledge is a key piece of what you need to have in your toolkit in order to succeed in
business as a woman."
Professor Jill Avery said, "Simmons opens [students'] eyes to the real business environment and says: these
are the challenges for our gender, and here are some coping strategies. We're raising consciousness to
what the real world is like."
