Student Programs
Diversity & Inclusion Programming
The Carlson School believes that students should be able to study in a space that allows them to be their authentic selves. College is also a time of great exploration of personal identity. The Undergraduate Program works to develop programs that create an inclusive space for our students while also providing opportunities to explore new ideas and learn from those who come from different backgrounds
Join in on programs, such as Power Lunches, LGBTQIA Community Luncheons, and Community of Color Luncheons or find several affinity groups within Carlson School student organizations.

1 in 3
1 in 3, an event hosted by Business Board and Delta Sigma Pi, is centered around starting & continuing conversations about mental wellness. Founded in 2015, this event garnered an attendance of nearly 300 Carlson students, faculty, staff, and other interested parties. The event featured mental health professionals as well as students who shared their own experiences with mental health; a segment that undoubtedly had one of the most powerful impacts. We aim to expand on the success of this event year to year and keep the conversation frequent, relevant, and strong.
Business Week
Business Week is a one-week celebration focusing on the Carlson School and its connections to the business community. This student-coordinated event connects students, faculty, and business professionals in a collaborative effort to realize current successes, celebrate past accomplishments, and anticipate future endeavors.
