As students return to campus at Dartmouth University’s Tuck School of Business, the head of women’s recruiting for the school is gearing up to attend a range of fall events targeting prospective women MBAs throughout the country.
In a recent post to the Tuck Admissions Blog, Patricia Harrison, head of women’s recruiting at Tuck, outlined some of the fall events on tap planned by the Forte Foundation, a consortium of top business schools and major corporations focused on increasing the number of women business leaders. Tuck is one of Forte’s founding members.
Each fall, according to Harrison’s post, Forte hosts events in seven cities across the country called Forte Forums. “The Forums are a great networking opportunity to learn from successful women in business how an MBA enhanced their careers,” Harrison writes. They also provide an opportunity to meet admissions officers, like herself, from many different schools, Harrison adds.
The Forte Forums include a school fair and panel discussions featuring alumnae and admissions officers. The admissions officer panel especially, according to Harrison, provides valuable information to women about how to prepare an effective MBA application.
The Forte Forums will run from September 14th through October 1st. A list of this year’s forums and the cities in which they will be held appears below. For more information, click here.
