My time here has given me more clarity on what I’m good at, what skills are needed in the marketplace, and how to take tangible steps to reach my goals. SOM’s community is among the best I’ve encountered in higher education—and I’ve been in this space for a decade! Everyone is kind, supportive, and deeply engaged, and there are so many people with great backgrounds to learn from.
