Enriching diversity in the INSEAD classroom

Throughout her career as a global executive, Christina Law MBA’91D has given back to INSEAD — whether by serving on the INSEAD and Campaign Board or establishing two scholarships: the Christina Law MBA’91D Endowed Scholarship for Asian Women and the Mr & Mrs Lo Ling Endowed Scholarship.

Law’s motivation for giving is as inspiring as her professional trajectory. The Hong Kong native wants to expand INSEAD’s scholarships to attract more top students from diverse countries, nationalities and backgrounds. She also wants to empower more talented women to earn an MBA from INSEAD.

Law also has personal reasons for giving back. Nearly 30 years ago, when she received an admission offer from INSEAD, she realised that she could barely afford the MBA programme’s tuition. Although her father had limited financial resources, he “didn’t think twice about supporting my studies,” she says, and helped fund her education. This act of generosity paved the way for what became a life-altering experience. At INSEAD, Law discovered a new sense of self as she experienced challenges that tested her resolve, transformed her perspective and opened her eyes to new possibilities.

Today, in honour of her parents and her INSEAD education, Law wants to pay it forward by helping “high potential candidates who face the financial challenges I once had,” she says.

“Make a difference, do the right
thing, enjoy yourself and let your
business be a force for good.”
