Paul Fortun MBA 27

I chose UC Davis for its strong name recognition, collaborative community and great flexibility. Recommendations from friends also played a role in my decision, as I wanted to further my education and continue growing personally and professionally.

Andrew Rozak MBA 27

I chose UC Davis because of the cohort aspect of the experience. I wanted to challenge myself to complete a rigorous program but did not want to feel alone along the way. It is comforting knowing that I have a few dozen peers who will be with me on this journey for the next two and a half years. 

I am also passionate about improving healthcare, and UC Davis gives me the opportunity to network with other healthcare professionals to expand my knowledge on the topic from different angles.
