Wolfpack 🤝Tigers
Recently, the MBA Student Association had the opportunity to volunteer at Carolina Tiger Rescue. Students got hands-on experience maintaining the sanctuary and learned about wild cat protection! 🐯
We’re fortunate to have a student association that values community engagement and connection outside of the classroom!
For three days last week, our Online MBA community had a chance to step away from the virtual classroom and come together on campus to learn, collaborate and connect in person! 🤝🐺
Students engaged in team-building activities, learned from current industry professionals, and earned course credit while strengthening their leadership skills and building meaningful connections with their peers.
We love seeing our Wolfpack come together to learn from one another and grow both personally and professionally! ❤️
