At SOM, Majo Guemez ’26 found an ethos of mutual support among her peers, from Hockey Club practice to interview prep.

What stood out most throughout the conference was the energy created by convening people from all corners of the social sector. Foundation leaders, nonprofit practitioners, social entrepreneurs, students, and impact investors all held different perspectives, yet shared a willingness to think creatively about what comes next.

Building a just world through policy, advocacy, and strategy has always been at the center of what I do. The EMBA program has affirmed how I show up in the world and given me the business acumen to lead with confidence. This program is for people who want to lean into growth. It’s a chance to invest in yourself and make meaningful connections. More importantly, it’s an opportunity to build a platform for whatever’s next.
