Women in Leadership Program

The Women in Leadership Program aims to reduce the gender gap in leadership through three strategies: mentoring, training, and leadership projects. In last year's pilot leadership course program, 10 students were joined by committed mentors and guest speakers. Despite the pandemic, five students created meaningful leadership projects for non-profit partners. This year's program will serve 20 undergraduate business and MBA students and includes a wider community through dedicated courses and speaker series..

Dean's Innovation Fund

The Dean’s Innovation Fund provides seed money to launch innovative ideas in high-impact teaching, groundbreaking research, and engagement with the business community. Funds stimulate the development of creative new ideas in business education and research. Past projects include the pilot year of CBE’s new Women in Leadership Program and travel costs for a team of MBA students and faculty members to compete in a prestigious international investment strategy contest in Boston, MA.

CBE Scholarships

CBE Scholarships help our business students afford the costs of college. Currently, East Bay's $7k tuition, coupled with basic living expenses, means $20k in expenses each year. Scholarships reduce students’ need for paid work, giving them more time to focus on academics, reduce their debt load, and help keep them in college during times of financial duress. Learn more about CBE Scholarships.

“It is a huge relief knowing this scholarship allows me to focus on my education. I am grateful to have this financial support so I can pursue my goals with all my energy.” – Landry Walker, BS ’20 Economics
