STUDENT SPOTLIGHT
Thanks to Professor Jennifer Shang and my Katz education, I am now confident that I am BOTH a words and numbers person, which has opened up avenues in my life and career that I would never have found without Katz.
The best part of my Pitt Business experience was the relationships I made during my time as an MBA student at Katz. Many thanks to Dean Assad for enabling me to pursue my passions through the various electives, clubs, and workshops.
