Purpose
With
more than 3,200 John Cook School of Business alumnae in the
St. Louis area alone, the Gruenberg Society aims to reconnect
alumnae with the John Cook School of Business and other local
businesswomen. The Gruenberg Society is also open to nonalumnae
through sponsorship by a current Gruenberg member. In addition
to providing networking, professional development and social
event opportunities to our members, another goal of the Gruenberg
Society is to establish a future endowed professorship in
the name of Dr. Gladys Gruenberg, professor emeritus in economics
and the first tenured female faculty member in the Business
School.
History
Through
the leadership of Dean Ellen Harshman and Gruenberg Society
Chairwoman Anne Gagen, the Gruenberg Society was formed in
2006. Dr. Gladys Gruenberg, professor emeritus in economics,
was the first tenured female faculty member at the John Cook
School of Business. Dr. Gruenberg also served as director
of the women’s MBA program and led efforts to provide
scholarship funding and personal development for female MBA
students.
Mission
The
mission of the Gruenberg Society is to celebrate the significance
and impact of women through valuable networking, professional
development and social events.
