Alumni Perspective

EMBA student testimonials
Greg Chow, WG'05

“When I approached my employer about pursuing an MBA, I received full endorsement for a part-time program. My division is relatively new, and I was the first person to be sponsored. My employer has been very supportive, giving me the time needed to attend the program, without taking it out of my personal or vacation days, and allowing me to choose the transactions I take on at work.”
