Why DeGroote?
I can sum it up in one word: community. Everyone in the program is there to support you reach your goals.
Why an MBA?
To me, an MBA is far more than a degree; it’s about building leadership and interpersonal skills. As someone who didn’t have a previous business education, I knew getting my MBA would help me grow and learn the skills needed to enhance my career.
What surprised you about DeGroote?
The level of support I received from my classmates, faculty, and administration. The program is challenging and you will face hardships; however, you will never go through them alone. Everyone is welcoming, supportive and truly wants you to succeed.
What piece of advice would you give to anyone considering doing their MBA at DeGroote?
Make yourself known – get to know your classmates personally, be engaged in the classroom, get involved in different clubs and activities, and most importantly, HAVE FUN!
What has been the highlight of your DeGroote experience so far?
