Women BUILD
Women BUILD (Business Undergraduates in Leadership Development) is a leadership program for high-achieving, motivated, and talented undergraduates at Rutgers Business School. This program engages select students of all identities who are dedicated to gender equity in business and are passionate about women’s leadership. BUILD offers students the opportunity to reach their full leadership potential as business students and empowers them to work toward their future as the next generation of business leaders committed to excellence in business, ethical judgment, and global perspective.
Women BUILD works in conjunction with major corporations who support its mission. Students in the program will have the opportunity to engage on a regular basis with BUILD’s corporate sponsors as well as senior executives with sustained connections to Rutgers Business School.
Being in the Women BUILD Program has made me feel like I am a part of something so much bigger than myself and that I get to share that experience with some of the most wonderful women I have come across. I will cherish the memories I make in this program forever and always.

Class of 2026 Women BUILD Program Participant, New Brunswick Campus
The interactions and networking opportunities we have within the Women BUILD program is amazing. I created life-long connections within Rutgers Business School and outside professionals that push us to be more than what society expects. I know that these are the same women that I am going to cross paths with in the future, and having a strong common ground of being in BUILD will help us connect.
