The 2008 National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) conference provided an excellent networking opportunity for attendees. I attended the Conference with a group of UCLA Anderson students, including students from Latino Management Student Association (LMSA) and African American Students in Management (AASM), and representatives from both MBA Admissions and the Parker Career Management Center (Parker CMC).
UCLA Anderson students interacted with recruiters from diverse employers, ranging from not-for-profits such as the Broad Foundations to global consulting firms such as Deloitte, as well as with UCLA Anderson alumni. Many of our students received on-the-spot interviews for both internship and full-time positions.
Prospective students got exposure to current UCLA Anderson students as well as to MBA Admissions and Parker CMC staff. Also, our Parker CMC staff strengthened UCLA Anderson’s relationships with numerous recruiters.
Overall, the Conference was a great success. UCLA Anderson’s participation in the Conference is just one example of UCLA Anderson’s commitment to increasing diversity in business school. You can learn more about diversity at UCLA Anderson by attending Embracing Diversity (11/8-11/10).
