While women now constitute 31% of business-school classes, up from about 26% in 2001, there’s still work to be done.

Last week, Forté Foundation’s executive director, Elissa Ellis Sangster, spoke to The Wall Street Journal about how companies and schools can recruit more women and why diversity matters.

Read the excerpts from her interview and find out what she has to say about gender diversity in business schools and why the disparity still persists.

Glassdoor recently announced their 2012 Employees’ Choice Awards for Best Places to Work, and we’re thrilled to see six Forté Foundation sponsors made the list!

We’re especially excited for our Virtual Campus sponsors, Ernst & Young and Lilly, which came in at numbers 38 and 46, respectively.

Want to know more about what makes these VC sponsors such great places to work? Head over to the Career Gal Road Trip to explore their virtual cities. There, you can learn more about the organizations and even find out how to apply for their internship programs!

Other Forté sponsors making the list include Bain & Company, which snagged the number one position, as well as Chevron, Goldman Sachs and Intel.

If you were choosing the best companies to work for, what would be on your criteria list? What do YOU think defines a “great place to work?”  Tell us, so we can share your thoughts with our many wonderful sponsors! We know they’re interested in what you have to say, because they know you’re the future of their organizations—so tell them what you’ll be looking for as you start your career path!

Happy Holidays, everyone!

Hopefully you made it through finals relatively unscathed, and are looking forward to a little R&R and some time with the fam.

If you’re doing a little traveling to get home for the holidays, check out some of the Forté Forum podcasts while you’re in the car or waiting for the plane.  These podcasts are all about why you might want to consider an MBA as part of your future, including advice and experiences shared by some of the most successful businesswomen out there.
