“Going into a job right out of undergrad, I wouldn’t have been prepared. But now I’m prepared to compete next to other people in the business world and cultivate relationships — small things like that, that no one teaches you, Wake taught me.”

“The MSM is an investment in your future that can seem like a large investment now but will pay massive dividends later. I found a career that I absolutely love and the program helped me understand not just want I want out of a role but what I want out of a company and a career trajectory. I use the skills I learned from the MSM program daily and I wish every one of my colleagues and friends decided to invest in themselves early like I did.“
