What's New in 2018 Diversity Forums

JumpStart MBA Diversity Forum is an intensive program that educates participants on both the financial services and consulting industries. Selected students from top-tier MBA programs attend industry-specific workshops, are introduced to case studies, and are provided with endless opportunities for networking with corporate partner representatives and other incoming MBA students prior to matriculation.

The Diversity Forum hosts selected incoming women and minority students attending top-tier MBA programs. Forum corporate partners are industry leaders in consulting and financial services who have demonstrated a commitment to diversity recruiting and developing talent.

JumpStart Finance 2.0 Session

As part of the 2015 MBA JumpStart Diversity Forum for Financial Services and Consulting, we have built a customizable experience to those applicants that know their post business school aspirations are specific to careers in Private Equity (PE), Venture Capital (VC), Investment Banking (IB), or Asset Management (AM). If you are an applicant that has a strong background in finance, accounting, or economics; the JumpStart MBA Finance 2.0 Diversity Session was designed for you. During the special workshops select participants will be given the opportunity to immerse themselves in their desired career track (PE, VC, IB, or AM). The Jumpstart Finance 2.0 session will take place during the finance portion of the Diversity Forum.
