Our vision is for the Charles H. Dyson School of Applied Economics and Management to be the premier school for a diverse and inclusive climate of belonging, successfully preparing graduates for social impact change to address the business challenges of our diverse, interconnected world.
We strengthen diversity, equity, inclusion, and belonging at Dyson through three intersecting areas that are central to fostering inclusive communities across difference and holistic student development: enrichment, engagement, and education.
We position all Dyson students for academic, personal, social, and career success. Students have access to enhanced support and resources, and our goal is for all students to have a sense of belonging at Dyson.
The Dyson Diversity Scholars program is open to all students including first generation, low income, and underrepresented students. Contact the Dyson Office of Diversity and Inclusion for more information.
Students cultivate teamwork and interpersonal relationships with diverse peers; engage in the Dyson community in meaningful ways across difference; contribute to a culture of inclusion, belonging, and collective leadership within Dyson; and develop critical thinking and communication skills necessary to be successful in a diverse workforce and global community.

AEM 2015 The Business Case for Diversity and Inclusion (spring semester, fulfills the CALS diversity requirement)
Students will develop cultural intelligence, the capability to relate and work effectively in culturally diverse situations; demonstrate an awareness and understanding of the cultural issues that impact business operations; and critically analyze diversity and inclusion issues and challenges in today’s diverse and globalized world.
AEM 3015 Developing Racial Equity in Organizations (fall semester, fulfills the CALS diversity requirement and the Dyson Grand Challenges project requirement)
Students will examine the roots of racial inequality, the ways our identities interact within the system of racial hierarchy, the policies that divide us, and the ways we can use our agency for social transformation within organizations. Students will apply course learnings as they work in a professional consulting team to deliver a high-quality product or service to a community partner, that helps develop racial equity within the organization and simulates the work they’ll do when they graduate.
Contact Dr. Jennifer Majka for more information about AEM 2015 and AEM 3015.
The Dyson Diversity Council cultivates trust by identifying patterns in the student experience through open-dialogue communication among all Dyson students, faculty, and staff. At its core, DDC members act as agents of change and as a uniting support pillar to further promote the mission and vision of the Dyson Office of Diversity and Inclusion, cultivating an inclusive and equitable environment for all of Dyson and, by extension, the SC Johnson College of Business at large.
