Cornell MBA

Graduates of the Samuel Curtis Johnson Graduate School of Management were celebrated at two recognition ceremonies on Saturday, May 26. Congratulations to the Class of 2018!

Several students in the One-Year, Two-Year, and Johnson Cornell Tech MBA programs were individually recognized for their contributions and achievements at the annual Dean’s Awards Brunch on Friday, May 25.

A spinoff of Johnson’s year-round REDtalks, GRADtalks offers MBA students the chance to share their personal stories with classmates moments before the last Sage Social of the year.

Cornell’s cross-functional offerings helped Josefina Hamren, MBA ’18, dive into her interests and grow as an innovator at two different times in her life. After graduating with a Johnson Cornell Tech MBA—she’s officially a “double Red.”

Last summer I was offered the opportunity to join charity: water—a non-profit organization leading the charge to solve the global water crisis—as their first MBA intern within the partnerships team.

Professor Russo mentioned the common phrase of “walking a mile in someone else’s shoes.”  What struck me was what he said next, which was something along the lines of: “and the only way you can do that is if you take your shoes off first.”

Entering Johnson at the age of 20, I was apprehensive of being labeled the ‘baby of the class.’ But I was amazed at how my classmates treated me with the same respect and love as they did any another student.

Growing up, Symone Williams, MBA ’19, experienced the influence of environment on education. Now, she’s giving back to her community and beyond.

Happy Mother’s Day! Today, as we celebrate the special women and mothers in our lives, here are few reflections from some of Johnson’s MBA mamas.
