Women at Berkeley Haas

The Berkeley Haas Women in Leadership (WIL) club plays a major role in providing educational, professional, and social events that enhance the awareness and understanding of women’s roles in business.

For two decades, their Women in Leadership Conference has rallied more than 400 people each year to learn from and connect with each other and build skills to advance their paths to leadership and success.

Recent efforts spearheaded by Full-Time MBA students raised the number of female students in that program. Today, Evening & Weekend MBA student leaders, staff, and alumni are actively engaged in the same pursuit of gender equity in the part-time MBA program.

Berkeley Haas has also launched a new Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership. Hear Founding Director and Professor Kellie McElhaney and students discuss the purpose and activities of our Center for Equity, Gender & Leadership in this webinar.

• Established in 2017, the Center for Equity, Gender, and Leadership at Berkeley Haas strives to raise the volume of the conversation and speed the pace of progress on creating a more diverse and equitable business world.
• The Beatrice Bain Research Group supports and coordinates feminist scholarship across disciplines. 

The Department of Gender and Women's Studies offers interdisciplinary perspectives on how gender is formed and intersects with other relations of power.
