A Commitment to Inclusive Excellence, Global Inclusion, and Community Impact

At the Wake Forest University School of Business, we believe that cultivating a culture of Inclusive Excellence, Global Inclusion, and Community Impact is key to preparing our students, faculty, and staff to lead with purpose in a diverse and interconnected world. Our approach goes beyond inclusion—it’s about creating an environment where everyone can thrive, contribute, and grow.

Our initiatives are designed to develop leaders who are not only equipped with strong business acumen but also have the cultural agility, ethical mindset, and global perspectives needed to address today’s most complex business and societal challenges.

A Place Where Inclusion Drives Impact

By investing in inclusive excellence and fostering global perspectives, we create an environment where everyone has the opportunity to excel and where innovation and impact are powered by diverse ideas and shared values.
