Dear Editor,
I am writing in response to today's feature article entitled, "New Business Program for Men Upsets Some Women."
There is a new first-year Living and Learning community designed for males only, with an interest in business. These communities designed for first-year students are traditionally separated by gender and area of interest at the University of Richmond. No co-ed, first-year Living and Learning communities exist currently at the university.
Westhampton College is considering offering a similar Living and Learning community for first-year women interested in business and I support their effort to do so.
Forty-one percent of our Robins School of Business students are female. If we have both Living and Learning communities, then I suggest that they work together. After all, we learn most in diverse groups where there are a variety of perspectives represented.
Business is for everyone; business teams are diverse, and business is global!
Sincerely,
Dean Nancy Bagranoff
