Our Culture
Our Diversity Pledge
As members of the Cal Poly Women in Business Association, we pledge to embrace the intersectional diversity of all individuals respecting their sex, gender, race, ethnicity, age, citizenship, sexual orientation, nationality, socioeconomic status, religion, physical ability, mental ability, and expression
In addition, members strive toward the social justice of all people in order to create and sustain a more productive and inclusive environment.
Members refrain from using derogatory terms that hurt and disrespect others, and promise to abstain from contributing to stereotypes or making generalizations about individuals, but rather to use their own experiences and interactions to better understand and embrace all people.
Our culture is guided by our three pillars:
(1) Build. WIB acts as a resource for young women that mobilizes and empowers them to thrive academically, socially, and professionally in order to achieve long term success.
(2) Support. We suport women in gaining skills and training they need to successfully position themselves in a highly competitive workplace via relevent programming and proactive advocay.
