Dr. Stacy Blake-Beard, is the Deloitte Ellen Gabriel Professor of Women and Leadership at
Simmons College’s School of Management, where she teaches organizational behavior. Dr. Blake-Beard has worked with a number of organizations on the challenges and opportunities offered
from a discerning examination of workforce relationships and the forces affecting them. The processes of mentoring and unconscious bias have been two areas in which Dr. Blake-Beard has concentrated her research and practice. Her work on the impact of diversity
and inclusion in organizations is exemplified in her collaboration with Stanford University’s Clayman Institute for Gender (Mentoring: Creating Mutually Empowering Relationships) and her TEDx talk on mentoring (The Power of Mentoring as a Transformational
Process|TEDxUrsulineCollege). Dr. Blake-Beard has published research on gender, diversity, and mentoring in several publications including the
Journal of Career Development, the
Academy of Management Executive, the
Psychology of Women Quarterly,
Journal of Management Development, the
Journal of Business Ethics, Human Resource Management Journal
and
The Diversity Factor.
Due to the polar vortex, our January workshop "Mentoring
the Next Generation of Social Activists"
was been postponed and rescheduled for THIS Wednesday Feb. 13th 12-1pm in PFEN 241.
Having a mentee who is passionate about social justice can catch even the most effective mentor off guard. To what extent should you direct a student’s energy or funnel their interest? What if you are passionate about an issue that
isn’t your mentor’s expertise? How can you motivate your peers to take a more active role in enhancing the community? Join us and our panel of experts in a discussion on how social justice intersects with effective mentoring!
If you are unable to attend in person, please join us via webex:

Wednesday, Feb. 27th 12-1pm in PFEN 241. Stay tuned for more details coming soon!
