Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI) is a four-day Institute that allows an intimate cohort of diverse undergraduate marketing students from historically disenfranchised and underrepresented communities the opportunity to learn, connect and build relationships with leaders from our academic and professional communities.

- Gain knowledge of contemporary issues in marketing
- Participate in intergroup dialogue around issues of equity and social justice
- Collaborate with peers to research and present ethical solutions to current leadership issues in marketing
- Reflect on and articulate the influence of personal identities and histories on effective marketing leadership
- Engage in professional networking with marketing faculty and practitioners
