- The Johnson School was the first top-tier business school to create an office dedicated to increasing diversity and promoting inclusiveness among its student body.
- The school's five-year plan identifies increasing diversity at the school and in the business community as one of its five major objectives
- Pipeline to the 21st Century is the Johnson School's strategy-in-action for making more young people aware of the opportunities for business education and careers.
- The Office of Diversity and Inclusion , staffed by dedicated professionals, exists to execute the school's goals and visions for a more diverse business community nationwide.[7]
Every year Johnson school conducts various events to promote the culture of diversity. One such event is the Johnson Means Business event. The JMB 2006 event held between Oct 19-22 was a grand success.
