My Talk at Duke University

Image

 A couple of weeks ago I gave a talk on my personal journey in going from a Research Scientist/Engineer to a fashion handbag Designer at Duke University. Although I got my engineering degrees from NCSU ( I love our campus of course!), I have always really LOVED the Duke campus. As you can see from the picture, it has such a nostalgic look to it.  I truly loved the interaction with the students. It is my favorite part of giving talks.

 It was interesting to see the ratio of females vs. males in the audience. I believe the stats for  Duke's Pratt Masters of Business program is 30% female although females make up approximately 50% of Duke's enrollment. Why don't more women get their MBAs?  A recent article by Stacy Blackman from US News reports that the number of females going for an MBA is actually on the rise. It seems that even in the two top business schools in the US Harvard (up to 39%) and Wharton (up to 45%), they are finding increases in the number of females to enroll. This is great news for all of us. I look forward to a day where there are equal numbers of females in MBA programs.  Actually, us women need to dominate in MBA programs ... right?

 xo, Gigi
