INSEAD Celebrates Women
In 1967, INSEAD became one of the first business schools in the world to admit women to its MBA programme when it welcomed Hélène Ploix MBA ’68 and Solange Perret MBA ’68 to the Fontainebleau campus. By doing so, INSEAD effectively departed from the traditional business school model—as business schools were largely exclusive to men—and made a strong statement about gender parity in education.
50 year’s on INSEAD celebrates with a three-pronged vision for iW50:
Celebrate our history
Convene our community of men and women to honour the past and present of women at INSEAD.
Build our legacy
Establish a foundation on which we can reinforce INSEAD’s dedication to supporting and sustaining the professional achievements of women.
Harness talent for global good
Advance women in leadership roles and empower women to be a force for good in business and society.
Taking action: Transforming vision into reality
Our goals for 2017 and beyond include:
· Increase the representation of women among our highly qualified students and leaders at INSEAD
· Actively engage men in our efforts to support the professional advancement of women
· Fund scholarships for female students and future leaders
· Increase global awareness of INSEAD alumnae through stories and videos
· Develop and disseminate research and knowledge about women in business
· Lead targeted research exploring specific challenges women face in business and solutions to those challenges
· Develop the community of INSEAD scholars focused on gender issues
· Increase the number of INSEAD cases with female protagonists
· Connect alumni to INSEAD through iW50 events
· Engage and educate the INSEAD community and broader network about iW50 and the INSEAD Gender Initiative
