Learning and Development Consultant at Relatones
As a first-gen student, I had this belief that achieving my bachelor's was enough of an accomplishment for me. Although, seeing my family (Rita and Maria) and friends pursue their degrees in higher education, that motivated me to want to do the same. After countless hours researching different schools, I knew that UC Davis was my first choice.
What stood out to me the most about the GSM was its close-knit community and focus on collaboration. Those are both important factors that align with where I saw myself being the most successful at for my MBA.
Only a fraction of public companies cite wildfire risk in required disclosures
Listen to NPR Cap Radio's Insight interview with Professor Paul Griffin, the lead author of a new report, who explains why wildfire risks aren't being properly disclosed by publicly traded U.S. companies and the potential impacts.
The depth of research work and contributions to the industry from many professors in GSM are the primary reasons I chose the University of California, Davis. I love how the curriculum is designed around gaining practical hands-on experience even before we join the industry.
As an aspiring entrepreneur, I knew an MBA was essential for my goals. UC Davis stood out to me because of its comprehensive program and the invaluable opportunity to network with a diverse group of people. These connections are crucial for building a solid foundation for my future career, making UC Davis the perfect fit.
The unique selling point of the UC Davis MBA is its close-knit community. Though the cohort size is small, at the Graduate School of Management, the alumni connections are impeccable. Everybody strives to give back to the community and the energy is infectious. This sense of community has been bolstered during my time at the GSM.
Further, UC Davis attracts some of the best talent and ensures great diversity in the cohort. It is wonderful to work with people from different walks of life, imbibing diverse perspectives and succeeding together.
Director of Yield Management
I grew up in Davis and never thought I would attend UC Davis. But when I started researching graduate schools, I loved that the GSM offered a small, close-knit community in my hometown. As I've grown older, I've learned to appreciate more the town, way of life here, and the incredible amount of food and agriculture industry that we have in the area.
