Our graduate students are not only seeking to excel in the classroom; they are aiming to develop research and build companies that will change the industry landscape.
“As someone transitioning into a new industry and with long-term aspirations of launching my own business, pursuing an MBA has been nothing short of life-changing. Even halfway through the program, my mindset around business has evolved significantly. I’ve gained new perspectives, sharpened my strategic thinking, and developed a clearer vision for the kind of leader I hope to become.
This fellowship has allowed me to fully immerse myself in the MBA experience... I’ve been able to take on leadership roles within student organizations, contribute to meaningful projects that support the Orange County community through initiatives like Seed OC, and dedicate myself wholeheartedly to building the business skills I was missing.
This summer, I interned at Mattel as a marketing intern within the Vehicles department, specifically on Matchbox, Thomas & Friends, and Disney Pixar cars! This role has further fueled my interest in brand management and product marketing.”
