There’s huge value in being a student in the city where there are so many opportunities. There are existing relationships with organizations that help a student who might not have those connections be able to branch out.

I've loved being a PMBA student at the Bloch School. It's been really fun being back in the classroom, learning, and it's been especially exciting doing it as a professional. The things I learn in class I get to bring back to work every day.
