Networking beyond the classroom — encounters with Goizueta alumni
Two years ago, when I was considering where to pursue my MBA, one of my top priorities was to attend a school with a strong alumni network.

Business school: Where people take classes and grow their careers, right? While the classroom and the career center may occupy a lot of our time, clubs are another integral part of the business school experience.
The trip started with a bang, as we stepped out from our Uber and into the terrific accommodations at the Mayflower, quite the insider hotel. President Harry S. Truman called it “Washington’s second best address.” The location within the city was amazing, and I jogged to the White House before classes each morning, bonding with classmates.
It’s hard to believe that the end of the fall semester is just a few weeks away — this year has flown by! End-of-year final exams and projects are the first thing on many students’ minds right now, but that doesn’t mean we don’t still make time to socialize and hang out together.
Now that I’m more than halfway through my courses for the EvMBA Program, I’m realizing how little time I have left to take advantage of the countless networking and educational opportunities that Goizueta offers.
As a second-year MBA student with only a semester left in my business school journey, the feeling is bittersweet.
One of my favorite things about Goizueta is the small size of our program. With only 181 students in my class, I’m able to greet everyone by name. The close-knit, personal nature of our community and the bonds I’ve been able to form with my classmates have made my Goizueta experience truly extraordinary.
There is an abundance of opportunity to get involved at Goizueta through student clubs and the events they host on and around campus.
