When I joined the Paul College of Business and Economics three years ago, I was struck by the relatively low percentage of women–only 37 percent in our undergraduate and graduate business programs, and only 20 percent in our undergraduate economics programs. This was well below the 54 percent representation of women among undergraduates at the University of New Hampshire as a whole. Our representation also was below the 41 percent average for AACSB-accredited business schools.
