Fully half the minority MBA students matriculating at the top 50 full-time programs have been recruited through The Consortium. “We are the schools.” Some with us 50 years; some as recently as 2013. Committed corporate partners. We have partners that have been with us since the beginning, yet we add new ones every year. Bucking that trend, in MBA programs affiliated with The Consortium, minority enrollment was up nearly 30 percent.

- Good morning/afternoon/evening. Introduce the presenter. Format of the presentation: Brief overview of the need UPSTART is designed to address. A brief overview of The Consortium and why we’re positioned to address this. A deeper exploration of the issue that must be addressed How The Consortium’s UPSTART program would work. What we’re here to ask.
- We’ve been around for a half-century, and we’ve grown and evolved, while maintaining our focus on our mission to increase the number of underrepresented minorities in business schools and corporations. We have demonstrated the ability to serve that mission and continue to grow our organization, with record student numbers recruited over the past two years and more than 8,000 alumni in our network. For all intents and purposes, we ARE the 18 member schools when it comes to diversity recruiting. We essentially serve as their arms and legs while we’re out seeking recruits for their programs. They trust us, and our relationships are strong. We don’t have any “former” member schools, and we’ve shown 50 years of success in the educational space. The same goes for our corporate partners, some of which have been with The Consortium since our beginning. We have many, many long-standing partners in this work, but we’re not stagnant. We continue to attract new partners in this work, some as recently as last year. Experience with the URM communities. Sensitive to challenges and needs in those communities.
- Over our history, we have developed a large and tight-knit community of individual alumni, corporate partners and member schools that collaborate and work together to carry out our mission. This community is among our strongest assets. We could not carry out our mission without this community. Our member schools collaborate closely with us to recruit talented students into their programs. They work with us on programming to prepare those students for their MBA education. Our corporate partners underwrite that preparation work, which is largely focused on our annual Orientation Program and Career Forum. They help finance merit scholarships for Consortium fellows. Our alumni support us financially and through their volunteer work with students, at our Orientation Program and at the member schools.
- The need, as we see it, and as borne out by numbers, affects students as they try to finish college, as they prepare for careers or as they plan for post-graduate educational opportunities. It affects those corporations that are committed to diversity because the pipeline for talented underrepresented minorities at the undergraduate level is nowhere near where it needs to be. Let’s dive a little more deeply into each of these areas.
- Let’s talk a little about those capabilities and The Consortium’s success in putting our capabilities to work. Our work has had a clear effect on the number and proportion of minority students – or students with a demonstrated commitment to diversity – in the leading MBA programs around the country. While it is discouraging to see that the percentage of underrepresented minorities has actually fallen nationwide in MBA programs, our member schools have seen enrollment increase among that group of students. Looking nationally, about 8 percent of each year’s incoming class of 10,000 MBA students are minorities. The Consortium routinely now contributes more than 400 students a year to that pipeline – about half of all incoming minority MBA candidates.
- Our work has paid dividends beyond the entering MBA classes. We have corporate partners that have come aboard with us since our earliest years. General Mills has been part of The Consortium family for 48 years and returns with us annually to provide support for scholarships, our annual Orientation Program and our corporate advisory board. Likewise, Emerson has been associated with The Consortium for 26 years and serves on our corporate advisory board. And we continue to recruit and attract new companies that want to associate themselves with our work, help us prepare new generations of students and reap the benefit of the talent that emerges. Hewlett-Packard has been a member for four years and also holds a seat on our corporate advisory board. Danaher Corporation just joined as a Consortium partner and was an active participant in our last Orientation Program. A member of Danaher’s team sits as the alumni representative on our Board of Trustees.
- The Consortium for Graduate Study in Management has begun its 50th year in service to the mission you see before you here. Our roots were planted by a management professor at Washington University in St. Louis who noticed that none of the Fortune 500 companies at the time had a single African American in a management position. His work led to the creation of The Consortium, which steadily expanded its work and its reach throughout our half-century. We now work to increase the representation of African Americans, Hispanic Americans and Native Americans in MBA programs and corporate management, as well as individuals who share our commitment to these principles of diversity and inclusiveness.
