The College of Business believes that developing cultural competence is necessary for every business professional to actively participate in our global society. Through workshops, programs, and outreach efforts, we aim to promote a work and study environment that is welcoming to people of all cultural backgrounds. The Social Justice Workshop Series is one means by which we accomplish this goal. These one-to-two hour interactive workshops engage students, faculty and staff members in various social justice issues designed to ignite discussion and broaden participants’ perspectives.

Social Justice Workshop Series Presents:
"Graduating to a Pay Gap"

Date: Thursday, March 28
Time: 3:30-4:30 p.m.
Location: Rockwell West, Bohemian Auditorium Rm.116

One year after graduation, a woman with a bachelor's degree will only be paid about 80% of what her equally degreed male colleague earns. Fast forward ten years and she's only making 69%.

Please join us as Amy Blackwell brings awareness to the frightening reality of the gender pay gap and how this disparity will affect future graduates as they enter into the working world.

Amy Blackwell, MA, owns Blackwell Communications LLC and volunteers as national director-at-large and Colorado public policy co-director of the American Association of University Women (AAUW). Amy is also a certified facilitator of $tart $mart Salary Negotiation Workshops that teach college women how to benchmark and negotiate fair-market value for their first jobs after graduation.
