The Anderson Schools of Management at the University of New Mexico are committed to making a real difference in the lives of students and the surrounding community. The Anderson Schools, through the generosity of corporate partners such as the Ford Motor Co. and the active involvement of faculty and students in the Hispanic Business Students Association, are able to provide Hispanic students with a cultural community that encourages excellence in scholarship and community service. The schools' commitment to outreach and providing students with exceptional hands-on experience is further evidenced in the Center for the Support of Economic Development, a support center for small businesses (more than 40 percent of which are Hispanic-owned), entrepreneurs, and startups involving student teams. Graduates are aggressively recruited for their excellence in communication skills, maturity, and interpersonal skills. Placement rates exceed 90 percent within three months of graduation.

"Nowhere is the growing economic, political, and social importance of Latinos more evident than in Los Angeles," says Dean Bruce G. Willison. "In the context of these changing demographics, the Anderson School at UCLA is committed to being a leader in preparing Latino students to transform and lead organizations."


The school's efforts to recruit new students are supported by the Latino Management Student Association (LMSA) and the Latin American Club. This year, LMSA earned 1st place at the National Society of Hispanic MBAs (NSHMBA) national marketing case competition. Additionally, Anderson students were awarded scholarships by NSHMBA and the Hispanic Scholarship Fund (HSF) and fellowships by the Toigo Foundation. The Anderson School actively promotes diversity through such initiatives as the Riordan Programs, Leadership Education and Development (LEAD), Los Angeles Education Alliance for Restructuring Now (LEARN), and MBA Forums. Hispanic students at the Anderson School play a pivotal role through one on- one mentoring of high school and college students, organizing MBA information nights, and sponsoring conferences.
