At the Liautaud Graduate School of Business, we are committed to increasing the number of women in business leadership roles. Our program and the MBA Women’s Interest Network invite you to a forum for current students as well as women considering the MBA. Join us for a discussion on:
The Glass Ceiling for Women: Is it Still an Issue?
The glass ceiling term was popularized in the 1980s and refers to barriers that exist for women that limit their upward mobility in organizations. Dr. Jenny Hoobler will share the research she’s done with Dr. Sandy Wayne and Grace Lemmon (all of the UIC Managerial Studies department) on today’s glass ceiling issues, and lead a discussion on how these may affect women’s careers.
