“The MBA experience has allowed me to hear and meet a ton of local and national business leaders. Their talks have been eye-opening and inspiring, from the professor who started her own bank to the former admiral who runs an international trade delegation to the Indian guy who lives in Switzerland and writes about globalism. I am not a great networker, but two years of the MBA has allowed me to connect with more local business people than I have ever known or ever would have met on my own through a job.”
