About the MBA
“After completing just my first year in the MBA program, I already saw a tremendous impact in my ability to lead. My staff saw immediate changes in terms of how I managed them and approached challenges. I have become more effective in guiding our board meetings and establishing myself as a valuable leader and asset.”
Maicharia Z. Weir Lytle '05 SOM, Executive Director, Organization For a New Equality (O·N·E)
