The Allies for Gender Equity program at Tepper is a TWIB initiative that empowers students to become proactive, empathetic leaders who drive meaningful change. By bringing together diverse perspectives on gender, AGE fosters understanding, amplifies voices, and equips participants with practical tools to create equitable and inclusive environments, both in the classroom and in the workplace.
Our Focus:
- Explore the lived experiences of classmates, colleagues, and leaders
- Support and advocate for gender equity in professional and academic settings
- Communicate effectively and intervene thoughtfully in challenging situations
- Identify and challenge unconscious and systemic bias
- Build meaningful networks while helping others grow
What We Do:
AGE is a launchpad for leadership development, providing participants with opportunities to engage with complex issues surrounding equity, bias, and behavioral dynamics. Through a combination of research, case studies, and real-world examples, participants learn to critically analyze challenges and develop actionable strategies to foster stronger, more inclusive communities.
Why Join and Support?
Employers seek leaders who can navigate diverse teams, communicate with impact, and demonstrate cultural and emotional intelligence. AGE equips participants with these essential skills, enabling them to contribute to high-performing organizations and advance equity in tangible ways.
