The MBA speaker series aims to give our MBA students and graduates a chance to hear from a diverse group of leaders from different industries who share insights and experiences from their careers and provide valuable new perspectives. The sessions will be in form of industry specific panel discussions featuring alumni in certain industries or senior level solo alumni presentations. The series also aims to connect our current students with alumni who were once in their places and create a strong MBA community for students and alumni to come together and share stories, exchange memories and to further support each other.
