As we wrap up Women’s History Month, let’s remember that achieving gender equity is a 365 day a year effort. We are asking you, our community, to continue to encourage others to inspire inclusion.

To get you started, here are four simple and effective ways:

• In the meeting, rotate the note-taking responsibilities, even if she is the only one who volunteers to take them; 

• On the zoom, let her finish her point, without interrupting her or restating it as your own;

• In the classroom, call on her to answer the question that you know she knows, even if her hand is not the highest raised; 

• In the home, do more than “help” —share — in the household and childcare responsibilities, even if she doesn’t ask you to do so.

Being inclusive means acting inclusively. It is why we created the Rutgers Center for Women in Business (CWIB). It is why we developed G.A.M.E.®, our male allyship program. It is why we curate groundbreaking research and develop insights that will make the workplace work for everyone. 

How are you inspiring inclusion?

- Lisa Kaplowitz, Executive Director of CWIB

Join us for our webinar on "Building Your Network to Support Career Advancement" on Friday, April 12^th. Heather Gould and Jackie Evans, two mentors from our G.R.O.W. mentoring program, will share insights on how to strategically build your network to best achieve your professional goals.



All are welcome!

Congratulations to Lisa Kaplowitz, Executive director of CWIB, and Serena Simpkins, Associate at Kelso & Company and CWIB Associate Board member, for having their case study published by Ivey Publishing. Not only is it remarkable that their case study got published, but this encourages more finance cases with female protagonists of all races and ethnicities to be written. Lisa and Serena’s work is important in amplifying representation of gender, race and ethnicity in finance roles to inspire the next generation of women in business.

Thank you to Diane Walsh for highlighting our center and the stories of Mona Mehvash, Katie Stratton, and James Chae to exemplify how investing in initiatives for mid-career women and their allies is crucial to the advancement of women in the workplace.

Congratulations to Lisa Kaplowitz, Executive Director of CWIB, for being recognized as one of the top 50 ROI-NJ women in business influencers in 2024!

We had the honor of collaborating with the Rutgers University Women’s Golf Team to bring a Golf Clinic & Networking event to our community. This was a win-win for us all. Our community members learned golf tips from D1 golfers, some of whom are going to be pros, and paid it forward by mentoring these athletes. The connections made will last beyond the green.

We want to thank coach Kari Williams and Joanna Henry for efforts in making this clinic possible and their endless dedication to empowering their team.
