Full-Time MBA Virtual Coffee Chat: Student & Faculty Perspectives

  • April 24, 2026 12:00pm - 1:00pm

Join us for a casual, interactive Virtual Coffee Chat with one of our Full-Time MBA Student Ambassadors - Ethan Lee MBA 27. Plus a special guest!

We're excited to welcome Professor Ayako Yasuda, the Maurice J. and Marcia G. Gallagher Chair in Finance, to the conversation. Professor Yasuda is a leading expert in venture capital, private equity, and sustainable finance, and was named UC Davis GSM's Teacher of the Year in 2022.

This is your chance to hear firsthand about the MBA experience, student life, academics, and career opportunities — directly from someone in the program and a faculty member at the forefront of her field.

Whether you’re just starting to explore an MBA or are already preparing your application, this is the perfect opportunity to:

  • Gain authentic insights into the Full-Time MBA student experience

  • Hear directly from a world-class faculty member about the academic environment and what sets UC Davis GSM apart
  • Ask candid questions about classes, recruiting, and campus culture

  • Explore how the GSM curriculum connects to the industries shaping the future — from tech finance to sustainable investing

This informal session is designed to be conversational, so bring your coffee (or tea!) and your questions. Space is limited to ensure an engaging discussion, so be sure to register early.
