Gatton offers a number of programs and opportunities to build and grow a diverse and inclusive student, faculty and staff community.
Women Business Leaders
Since 2012, Gatton’s Women Business Leaders program has connected undergraduates with prominent female business leaders from our local community and beyond. For participants, the mentor/mentee relationship is about much more than business advice. It’s a lasting connection that gives young leaders the confidence they need to enter the corporate world.
Gatton Ambassadors
Gatton Ambassadors are the face of the College. They take leading roles in helping recruit students to Gatton, meet with important guests and alumni, work with the College administration, faculty and staff on policy issues, plan fun activities, and engage in many fundraising and charity events. Many Ambassadors return to the College after graduation to speak to students about their experiences.
