Executive Director of Graduate Business Programs Rachel Foxhoven: Leadership and conflict resolution in business
Staff feature: Meet Corinne Gould
The celebration and support of diversity, equity and inclusion at Portland State and The School of Business drew me to this role, and that culture continues to be one of the best parts of working in this community. As a queer woman, it was important for me to find affinity and support the voices of my community at The School of Business.
