Diversity at Carey
At Carey Business School, diversity and inclusion are not just initiatives or a task force. They are baked into everything we do. And we embrace and continue to build a diverse student body, staff, and faculty because we believe our differences can be a powerful force for good. While we are proud of our commitment to underserved populations, we know there is still much more to do.

Allyship = Leadership
SESSION TYPE: Talk
DESCRIPTION: Linking gender equity to leadership is vital. To create a culture in which men can be allies, it’s essential to reframe gender equality as a leadership challenge instead of a “women’s issue.” Forward-leaning and successful organizations cultivate a culture of allyship and equip everyone to succeed and thrive as allies for gender equity broadly. It is imperative that leaders create a work environment that supports allyship itself — a workplace where curiosity, courage, confidence, caring, and commitment are valued traits. In this environment, men can support each other on the path to becoming an ally — acknowledging mistakes, holding each other accountable, and maintaining a learning orientation along the way. Leveraging some of our own research, this panel will discuss the benefits, challenges, examples and personal experiences with allyship in the workplace—and at home.

AI: Living Our Values in Research, Teaching, and Service
SESSION TYPE: Panel
DESCRIPTION: The concept and logical framework of artificial intelligence emerged early in the 20th century and for decades developed in specialized applications such as banking, gaming, and defense. It wasn’t until computers and software became powerful, nimble and relatively cheap that AI really took off in every sector of society to reach the mass consumption market and permeate every aspect of our lives. The innovative arc of AI possibilities can be dazzling, but it also raises ethical questions such as transparency, embedded bias, and privacy rights. The reputational branding for us as an academic community is anchored in the integrity, transparency, and impartiality of the knowledge we generate, apply, and teach. How does AI challenge our values? How do we live our values in our research, teaching, and service to society? This panel of experts shares their experience of grappling with these questions.
