  • AMA Diversity Leadership Institute

    Applications open October 4, 2024 to January 19, 2025

The AMA Diversity Leadership Institute (DLI) is a four-day retreat that allows participants the opportunity to meet and interact with an intimate cohort of marketing students from historically disenfranchised and underrepresented communities in the marketing field.
