The Iowa Diversity in Business Initiative creates a welcoming environment for all students, helps students develop cultural competencies for success in diverse settings, establishes a critical mass of underrepresented students, and increases the retention and graduation rates for students of color and low-income first-generation college students.

All students interested in business and diversity issues, regardless of race or ethnicity, are encouraged to participate in IDB Initiative events. Past activities have included workshops with alumni, outings with corporate leaders, theatrical performances, and site visits to Fortune 500 companies.

The Tippie College also sponsors The Iowa Edge.
