Black students represent an important talent pipeline for firms across industries. However, enrollment at top MBA programs, which are gateways to access mid- and senior-level opportunities, has stagnated over the past decade. In 2021, Bloomberg reported that Black students made up less than 10% of annual enrollment on average nationally. Admissions experts attribute this to the lack of formal corporate mentorship, the high monetary and opportunity costs to enter an MBA program, and the lack of leadership diversity in the college experience. Because of these obstacles, the availability of MBA resources and programs to recruit and develop Black prospective students becomes even more important. Several notable pre- and post-MBA programs have proven to offset the aforementioned trend in statistics and will provide a great launching pad for your professional career. 🔸Management Leadership for Tomorrow Management Leadership for Tomorrow (MLT) fosters a community to increase the representation of Black and other minority students in corporate America after their undergraduate and MBA studies. 🔸The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management The Consortium is an organization that provides African Americans, Hispanic Americans, and Native Americans the opportunity to apply to top MBA programs in its business school affiliate network, which now consists of 23 MBA programs following the recent additions of the Stanford Graduate School of Business in 2022 and Northwestern’s Kellogg School of Management in 2023. 🔸Toigo Foundation The Robert Toigo Foundation awards its prestigious fellowship to a select number of minority MBA students pursuing in a career in the financial services, private equity, and investment management sectors. Those who are interested must apply to the program in the spring before matriculating to business school. 🔸National Black MBA Association The National Black MBA Association (NBMBAA) provides an extensive network that allows Black MBA students and alumni to build symbiotic personal and professional relationships. 🔸JumpStart Advisory Group The JumpStart Advisory Group hosts pre-matriculation career prep forums for minority candidates. The events target students interested in management consulting, finance, and brand management careers. Attendees can participate in professional development workshops, case studies, networking events with employers, and resume development sessions.

SDHF's Senior Director of Programs and Community Engagement, Shelby Thomas, MSW, will be speaking on a panel at Southern California Association of NonProfit Housing (SCANPH)'s conference this Thursday, October 10th at 3 pm! The panel is entitled “Investing in the Next Generation of Housing Leaders: Innovative Ways to Attract, Train, and Empower BIPOC Housing Practitioners". Creating equitable solutions to the housing crisis entails investing in our industry's BIPOC practitioners. To do this, organizations must continually respond to the needs of the industry workforce, across varied career stages and industry roles. This session will reflect on the impact of longstanding career development programs including scholarships, internships, fellowships, and other trainings. It will also explore emerging programs that were created in response to other identified industry roles and career levels, such as property management trainings, mid-career training, and leadership development for BIPOC managers and executives. Overall, this panel will highlight how essential it is to continually assess how to better invest in the housing workforce, collaborate with the network of organizations doing the work, and facilitate necessary conversations to create an industry that reflects the communities it serves, where BIPOC practitioners can thrive.

Campus Sonar Question for today's webinar: Looking at the admissions perspective to differentiate the institution and tactics to stand out from competitors, can the panel provide an example of how this can look different for undergraduate enrollment teams versus graduate enrollment teams?

"The Lynch commitment to the practice of Higher Education leadership and the BC mission of formation work hand in hand to make the ELHE program a truly fantastic fit for me as a practitioner and an instructor. BC has a rich history of producing leaders, scholars and enthusiastic practitioners in the field. It is a gift to be a part of this program." Dr. Laura De Veau The M.A. in Higher Education program is a two-year program that provides students with foundational knowledge about today’s global higher education landscape and the opportunity to put theory into practice and apply your skills in real-world settings. The Higher Ed. program offers four distinct concentrations: Student Affairs, Administration, International Perspectives, and Spirituality, Faith, and Formation. With the cohort model, students get a support system that boosts their connection to the program. "The curating of the competencies and their outcomes is a key element of the success of the academic priorities of the program and what sets the BC program apart in many ways," Dr. De Veau shares. This year, Dr. De Veau is teaching the first-year Field Experience course. This course provides the framework for the program in which students can lean into strengths by thoroughly engaging in their Field Experience. "It’s more than an internship, it allows students to begin to define themselves as scholars of the practice."

Great programme to kick start your career in HE

As I walk across the stage, diploma in hand, I can't help but reflect on the journey that brought me here. I am a first-generation college graduate, a Mexican-American student who defied the odds and paved my own path to success. Two associates degrees were achieved today. AA - General Academics - Business & Industry, AA with FOS in Business Administration & Management Growing up, higher education felt like an unattainable dream. My parents, hardworking and dedicated, instilled in me the value of education, but they couldn't guide me through the complexities of college life. They didn't understand my degree or where it would take me, but their unwavering support fueled my determination to succeed. McLennan Community College became my home away from home, a place where I discovered my passion and honed my skills. Despite facing challenges and doubts along the way, I persevered, knowing that my education was the key to a brighter future. As I look forward to the next step, I hope to attain a Bachelor of Business Administration (BBA) degree in Supply Chain Management. While I have yet to commit to a specific school, potential options like Texas A&M University offer strong academic programs and resources that align with my goals. Now, as I stand on the brink of a new chapter, I realize that my journey is about more than just earning a degree. It's about breaking barriers and shattering stereotypes. It's about proving that with hard work and determination, anything is possible, regardless of where you come from or the obstacles you face. To my fellow first-generation students, I say this: embrace your unique journey and never underestimate the power of your dreams. Let's continue to inspire and uplift each other as we forge ahead, blazing trails and making our mark on the world. As I embark on the next chapter of my life, I carry with me the lessons learned, the challenges overcome, and the unwavering belief that anything is possible. I am proud to be a first-generation graduate, and I am ready to make my mark on the world.
