I joined IBM after graduating from the School of Management, rose consistently throughout my career, and was ultimately promoted to the level of senior engineer manager, head of a 1,000-person organization in the real estate/site operations field at Research Triangle Park, North Carolina, the largest IBM facility in the world. I have always given much credit for my success to my UB education.

3. My MBA program was the first year for the quantitative MBA Program.

However, the school encouraged me to pursue my interest as a minor and afforded me the opportunity to intern with the City of Buffalo’s Office of Community Development. I went on to pursue a management career in the U.S. Department of Housing and Urban Development where I was able to apply many of the business principles I learned at UB.
