Galih Setiawan MBA 24

As an aspiring entrepreneur, I knew an MBA was essential for my goals. UC Davis stood out to me because of its comprehensive program and the invaluable opportunity to network with a diverse group of people. These connections are crucial for building a solid foundation for my future career, making UC Davis the perfect fit.

One of the things that immediately drew me to UC Davis was the opportunity to network with people from diverse backgrounds and experiences. This was especially appealing to me as I believed these connections would be vital in building a solid foundation for my future career.

Another thing that stood out to me was the emphasis on industry immersion, the IMPACT project, and the Collaborative Leadership Program. These opportunities allow MBA students to apply the concepts learned in the classroom to real-world work, which I believe is essential to becoming a successful professional in the future. I was also attracted to UC Davis' location and its strong connection with alumni from the tech industry in the Bay Area.

Throughout my journey at UC Davis MBA, I've had the pleasure of meeting motivated and compassionate individuals who helped me feel welcome and supported. I believe that the culture at GSM Davis, which is inclusive and supportive, drives people to succeed. I feel honored to be part of a community dedicated to personal and professional growth, and I am excited to see where this experience will take me in the future.
