Our Mission
The Gloria Cordes Larson Center for Women and Business (CWB) advances intersectional gender equity from the classroom to the boardroom. We center the voices of leaders from historically excluded communities to empower women and gender-diverse leaders through innovative research and professional development opportunities
Corporate Programs for Inclusive Organizations and Employees
We design and deliver innovative, transformative programs, training, and tools to help organizations create inclusive cultures. Our interactive, customized programs, and curated research inform and empower people and organizations to make meaningful, positive change in their organizations. Our work is informed by our decade of experience with hundreds of organizations, our industry research, and Bentley’s academic and business expertise.
Programs for Students
The CWB offers programs that promote intersectional gender equity on Bentley’s campus. We collaborate with various departments within the Bentley community to deliver campus-wide workshops supporting our mission to advance intersectional gender equity from the classroom to the boardroom.
The CWB is now conducting class visits. Reach out to learn more!
