the school for its commitment to diversity
The Connecticut Chapter of the National Society of Hispanic M.B.A.s will honor the Yale School of Management (SOM) with its 2007 Destino Community Organization Award at a ceremony to be held May 3 in Hartford.
The honor is given to an organization that promotes youth leadership and education and plays a role in identifying future young leaders and preparing them for the next level; recognizes the importance of a level playing field and ensures that the respective learning environment is comfortable to students who have never had the opportunity; and recognizes areas of improvement in educational, communication and technology systems in the community and creates ways to address those needs to better society.
The National Society of Hispanic M.B.A.s (NSHMBA) is a non-profit organization that fosters Hispanic leadership through graduate management education and professional development. The organization works to prepare Hispanics for leadership positions throughout the United States.
In a joint statement, Jose L. Martinez Jr., president of NSHMBA Connecticut Chapter, and Raquel Santiago-Martinez, chair of the Destino Awards committee, said: "Yale University School of Management has been a long-term supporter of NSHMBA, and its history parallels that of the NSHMBA-CT Chapter. The School of Management has generously hosted and assisted with coordination of NSHMBA-CT's annual kick-off meeting. In addition, the school has contributed its resources to assist in the development of the Connecticut chapter. For those reasons, and so many more, we are honored to present the School of Management with this prestigious award."
Damon Caldwell, associate director of admissions and students affairs who manages diversity recruitment and retention initiatives at SOM, said, "NSHMBA is a valued partner in our ongoing commitment to diversity. We are honored to receive this award and we look forward to continuing to work with them toward our mutual goal of increasing the number of Hispanic M.B.A.s."
