University of Kentucky welcomes a big audience to One Year MBA Open House

The University of Kentucky's MBA program at the Gatton College of Business and Economics recently hosted a One Year MBA Open House event to prospective candidates in their new $65 million Gatton College building. A full audience of students with different majors learned more about the accelerated One Year MBA program along with the Project Connect internship and the different dual degree options. In addition, prospective candidates had the opportunity to meet and greet with current MBA students, faculty, staff and alumni of the UK MBA program.

Some of the current UK MBA students that spoke about their personal experiences so far in the program were Emily Bunch, Rachel Dudney and Justin Morris. They each provided a unique perspective on their motivations to pursue an MBA at the University of Kentucky, their career goals and even offered some general advice.

The Gatton College also invited back a group of successful UK MBA alumni to participate in a panel discussion, which included: Chris Collins of Valvoline, Angela Owens of J.M. Smucker Company, Pooja Talauliker of Catalent Pharma Solutions and Korey Colyer of R.J. Corman Railroad Group. They each spoke about the value of an MBA and how it's helped them grow professionally in their careers.
