When Bradley Rosenberg (Accounting ’80 and EMBA ’93) and Kathy Clark (EMBA ’95) talk about risk, they talk about the risk of not doing. It’s a heavier weight, they imply, to not do something. It’s a higher risk.

Tien Huynh’s mindset has driven him toward his desired destination throughout his young career, yet his determination yields unseen future potential. It has taken him from Vietnam to Ohio to �鶹��Ƶ and beyond.

Texas-born and raised Gabrielle Webster, BA Integrative Studies ’14, MS in Management ’16, first learned about �鶹��Ƶ through her high school debate team.

If there’s one thing that stuck with Ola Sage, MS Technology Management ’99, from her time studying at the School of Business, it is the importance of preparation. Preparation is what her intensive workload came down to—preparation for her career, preparation for each class, preparation for any possible scenario. More than two decades later, she continues to prepare herself, her clients, and the next generation. As a business leader strongly invested in the community, Sage hopes that underrepresented demographics, especially African Americans and women, feel encouraged by seeing her as a role model and that they too prepare to prosper.

Karen Crosswhite had already served in international corporate tax roles with three of the four leading accounting firms before starting her own. She decided to enroll at �鶹��Ƶ to take her career to the next level and be the best possible accountant for her clients.

Attending �鶹��Ƶ School of Business in the early-90s, Marie Robles, BS Accounting ’94, was mesmerized by the diversity she saw across campus. Students of all ethnic, religious, and other cultural backgrounds intermingled in the classrooms. �鶹��Ƶ’s diversity made her feel at home. However, she’s aware that boardrooms and offices are often devoid of that inclusive and welcoming experience.

It had been 15 years since graduating from �鶹��Ƶ when Michael Gallagher, MBA ’94, was approached by school officials about getting involved with the School of Business Alumni Chapter. He jumped in with both feet, serving several roles including chapter president and has sat on the Dean’s Advisory Board for the past three years.
