MBA Ambassadors

Find an ambassador by region, industry, interest or activity and connect with them to help you on your journey as a prospective student.

MBA ambassadors are current students who can offer you insights into our culture, network, and life as an MBA student. Also, remember that they are busy MBA students — please be patient waiting for their reply.
