Life in the Jenkins MBA
Please give a warm welcome to the newest members of the Full-Time Jenkins MBA program!
The new members of the Wolfpack include 51 students. Four of them are international students and 10 are military-affiliated. 37% have non-business-related majors, and thus are starting a brand new path in our program.
We can`t wait to see what you all accomplish!
Yesterday, as part of Full-Time MBA orientation, new students heard from a panel of Jenkins MBA alumni who answered questions and shared early career advice.
Some highlights from the panel:
"One thing that will really make a difference in your career is how you make people feel."
"Make sure your skip-level leader (your boss`s boss) knows what you do and the value you bring. They may be making key decisions about your role down the road."
"Get to know the interviewers throughout the job interview process. Show genuine interest in who they are and what they value."
"Learn to communicate complex ideas to leadership quickly, clearly and concisely."
"Learn what other teams across your organization do. When it’s time to collaborate, you’ll be better equipped to speak their language."
Big thanks to the panelists: Jackson Beaufort, Elisabeth Baum, Rylie Newman, Joshua Lissauer and Shaily Shah!
Orientation for our full-time MBA students is underway! Over the eight days, the new cohort of students will participate in team building activities, attend panels, meet alumni and more. Be sure to follow along on our Jenkins MBA social channels!
