This is author testimonial

” We had an overwhelming amount of interest in our MBA programs. Many of the attendees are quite seasoned professionals and are eligible to apply to our Executive MBA program.

We are interested in potentially presenting at the Tech-talks. It seems that the population is interested in hearing about ROI of Business School. We can certainly arrange for some of our current students/alumni with technical/engineering backgrounds to present on why they pursued Business School and the impact on their careers. “
