Latin American students constitute 10 to 15 percent of each incoming MBA class, and the HBGA provides these students with an extensive support network to address both academic and professional needs. The HBGA, along with project teams and the cohort system, contribute to one of the missions of the Texas MBA Program: to establish an atmosphere of cooperation, not competition. 2 Stanford University Graduate School of Business 518 Memorial Way Stanford, CA 94305-5015 (650) 723-2766 Fax: (650) 725-7831 www.gsb.stanford.edu Total graduate enrollment 738 Hispanic graduate enrollment 96 Percent Hispanic graduate enrollment 13% Total MBA degrees earned 344 MBA degrees earned by Hispanics 55 Percent of MBA degrees earned by Hispanics 16% At Stanford Business School, diversity is not an “issue,” it is a reality. Each student’s perspective is of value. All are shaped by racial, cultural, professional, or personal experiences that bring a broad range of opinions to class discussions and interesting perspectives to interpersonal relationships. International students make up approximately one-third of the enrollment and a large percentage of students have worked outside the United States. Stanford is located in a culturally rich area with a broad range of activities and resources. The Stanford Business School attracts highly qualified students from a variety of racial, cultural, and professional backgrounds through the Charles P. Bonini Partnership for Diversity Fellowship Program. 3 University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill Kenan-Flagler Business School CB 3490, McColl Building Chapel Hill, NC 27599-3490 (919) 962-7235 Fax: (919) 962-7732 www.kenan-flagler.unc.edu Total graduate enrollment 542 Hispanic graduate enrollment 68 Percent Hispanic graduate enrollment 13% Total MBA degrees earned 237 MBA degrees earned by Hispanics 36 Percent of MBA degrees earned by Hispanics 15% Teamwork is a core value at Kenan-Flagler, and the MBA program, by design, capitalizes on students’ diverse cultures and experiences. “Kenan-Flagler fosters the type of environment where Hispanic students do not feel a need to have their own club,” says MBA student Alejandro Roman, a Puerto Rican American who is president of the Alliance of Minority Business Students. “Our numbers are small, but our culture is very much celebrated and embraced by the faculty, staff, and fellow students. Instead of our own organization, we join the African Americans, Asian Americans, and Native Americans in the [AMBS]. This provides us with a very strong network of resources.”
