A webinar series designed for prospective diverse graduate students. Each of the three webinars are a unique chance to hear from a panel of business partners, faculty or alumni and students about how Diversity Equity and Inclusion has become integral to business culture. After the panel, prospective students may stay to hear more about Leeds graduate programs and how our commitment to creating an inclusive learning environment is helping us build a pipeline of diverse leaders who will drive business worldwide. Our admissions advisors are also on hand to answer questions about what a graduate business education can look like for you.
