Happy Women’s History Month! This month we celebrate the often-overlooked contributions made by women to our history, culture, and society. What started out as a week-long celebration in 1978 turned into a monthly observance almost 10 years later to recognize extraordinary feats made by women in American history.
After exploring the resources in this email, I hope you will also take a moment to show appreciation for the women in your lives, past and present. Acknowledge their success and how they have impacted your life. Give them the support and inspiration they may need. It is important that we uplift and show appreciation for one another.
With that, I hope you will join me in honoring the women who left lasting impressions and brought change to society. I personally have nothing but respect for these historical women, as they inspire me to do more and be better.
Isabelle Bajeux-Besnainou Dean Richard P. Simmons Professor of Finance

Our Faculty Expert’s Opinion: Don’t Just Sponsor, Defend |
|
|
Rosalind Chow, Associate Professor of Organizational Behavior and Theory, recently penned “Don’t Just Sponsor Women and People of Color — Defend Them,” an op-ed featured in the Harvard Business Review.
“Defending is the most relationally costly form of sponsorship. Yet, it is also precisely the form of sponsorship that female and minority protégés are more likely to need due to biases in how we evaluate talent. When we combine that with the idea that female and minority leaders are – via 'trickle down diversity' – expected to sponsor rising female and minority talent, organizations functionally impose a tax on female and minority leaders' social capital," she said.
