The Michigan State MBA program makes a special effort to recruit talented potential managers from historically underrepresented groups—African- American, Latino(a)/Chicano(a), Asian/Pacific Islander and Native American (ALANA). It does so through a variety of programs and events both on and off campus, including: Multicultural Business Program (MBP) The purpose of the Multicultural Business Program is to improve the recruitment, retention and graduation rate of multicultural students by providing opportunities for them to develop full academic and career potentials. Its programs promote a success philosophy by fostering a positive awareness of personality, gender, physical and cultural differences. The MBP office works with students to identify individual strengths, values, interests and goals. Women in Business Conference The Women in Business Conference, held annually, is co-sponsored by the MBA program’s Graduate Women in Business student association. During the evening conference, we hope to give prospective female MBAs insight into the many career and growth opportunities available after graduate school. Activities include a panel of current women MBA students and recent Broad MBA alumni sharing why they decided to leave the work force to pursue an MBA full time. In addition, they will also address a variety of issues including how to balance their work, school and family priorities; tips for being successful in school and on the job; the benefit of networking with other women; and career opportunities for newly minted MBA graduates.

  • Bcam at Lacma
    BCAM AT LACMA The Broad Contemporary Art Museum (BCAM), opening February 16, 2008, is the centerpiece of the Los Angeles County Museum of Art’s (LACMA) Transformation—an ambitious program of expansion and renovation. Designed by Renzo Piano, founder, Renzo Piano Building Workshop, BCAM has been made possible thanks to a $60 million donation from Eli and Edythe Broad, including $50 million to the museum’s capital campaign and a pledge to cover the cost of the building over $50 million. The remaining $10 million was donated to fund acquisitions and was used in part in 2007 to purchase Richard Serra’s monumental sculpture Band (2006). Mr. Broad is a longtime LACMA Trustee, and he and Mrs. Broad are among the world’s most generous philanthropists, with interests that include the arts, education, and science. The three-story BCAM includes 60,000 square feet of exhibition space—one of the largest column-free art spaces in the United States— designed specifically for The Broad Contemporary Art Museum at LACMA the display of contemporary art. Included in the initial installation are some 160 works from the renowned collection of The Broad Art Foundation and the Broads’ personal collection, as well as forty works from LACMA’s own holdings in contemporary art and from other lenders. LACMA Director Michael Govan states, “The creation of BCAM greatly expands LACMA’s contemporary art program, both enriching the experience of its historical collections and placing LACMA in a position of prominence in the area of contemporary art among encyclopedic museums. We are additionally pleased that BCAM will enable us to show the work of several key artists in great depth, providing an exceptionally rewarding experience for visitors.

  • January 6, 2011 Billionaire Unveils Design of Downtown LA Museum
    January 6, 2011 Billionaire unveils design of downtown LA museum By JACOB ADELMAN Associated Press LOS ANGELES—Billionaire Eli Broad unveiled plans Thursday for the porous-concrete-shelled structure that will be the future downtown home of his 2,000-piece art collection and a hoped-for catalyst for the continuation of the city center's halting renaissance. The three-story Broad Art Foundation, designed by New York-based Diller Scofidio + Renfro, consists of a spongelike mantle that lets light into the 40,000-square feet of gallery space, which itself sits atop a vast storage vault. Broad said the downtown location on Grand Avenue amid a row of buildings by top-shelf architects—which the developer-turned-philanthropist played a leading role in having built—was a fitting home for the paintings, sculptures and prints he and his wife Edythe have spent four decades collecting. "We're convinced Grand Avenue is where it's at," Broad said at the unveiling held at the nearby Walt Disney Concert Hall, a Frank Gehry-designed structure that Broad was instrumental in helping fund. The $130-million art museum's construction is scheduled to begin in late summer, with the galleries welcoming their first visitors in early 2013. The price includes a parking lot that the city's Community Redevelopment Agency will buy from the foundation for up to $30 million and operate after its completion. Broad said the museum's initial exhibit will include a broad selection of works from his collection, including pieces by Jeff Koons, John Baldassari and Cindy Sherman.
