ExecMBA Podcast #235: In Conversation | LaShondra Ervin, VP, Diversity, Equity & Inclusion, Executive Student Association

In this episode of the podcast, we catch up with LaShondra Ervin. LaShondra is a second year student in the Executive MBA Class of 2023, and she is also the Vice President for Diversity, Equity and Inclusion for the Executive Student Association (ESA). We chat with LaShondra about her decision to pursue an MBA, what attracted her to Darden, as well as how she and her family have navigated the first year of the program. We also talk with LaShondra about the work of the Executive MBA Program’s Diversity, Equity and Inclusion (DEI) Committee, including what they have planned for the months ahead. Fun fact: LaShondra was one of three Executive MBA recipients of the C. Steward Sheppard Distinguished Service Award at the program’s mid-point celebration.
