What influenced your decision to join this program?

My decision to join the Isenberg MBA was influenced by the school's reputation as a top-tier Business program that places a full investment in the ensured success of its student body. Isenberg is replete with high caliber faculty members, strong brand-name recognition, a deep alumni network of accomplished professionals, and a staff of individuals who are all dedicated to ensuring student success - during the program and beyond.

What do you think are the key factors in gaining the most from your time in the program?

The main factor to ensuring program success is an open-mindedness and willingness to seek knowledge through both academic pedagogy and practical application. This is both a personal and a professional exercise, and can only be accomplished by employing a flexible, growth-oriented mindset. It is important to pursue your passion while being simultaneously open to the exploration of new and exciting opportunities that may apply to circumstances larger than you originally envisioned.
