Kola Adegoke ’26, a student in the Master of Advanced Management program, tries to name his favorite thing about SOM—but can’t stop at one.

At 45, I made the decision to transform my life by imagining something larger than what I previously believed was possible. Choosing to pursue an MBA at Yale SOM was not the conventional path for someone with my background, but it felt like the right place to stretch and reimagine the scope of my impact.

Jason Rondinelli ’27 on how the Aspire Fellowship helped him reimagine his career and pursue his interest in arts leadership.

I took Introduction to AI Applications at Yale College last semester, along with a large language model course and a software development class, and ended up coding three different applications. It’s not something I had ever planned on doing, but I’m so happy I did. Those skills are really valuable in today’s job market, and I’m able to understand technical conversations much better.
