These conversations provide insight into the challenges and successes these connections are experiencing. Gathering this information allows you to better position yourself as you move forward in the program and throughout your career.
  2. Become a Key Influencer – UConn MBA events are a great, safe way to meet and engage with distinguished leaders, learn from them and develop influential communication and leadership skills of your own.
  3. Find inspiration – A hallmark of the MBA experience is the opportunity to engage other like-minded, passionate people. These connections captivate and inspire you, enhance your learning, and motivate you to excel throughout your MBA experience.
  4. Have Fun – The MBA experience is more than what you learn in a classroom. Attending events allows students to socialize in a new environment, meet and learn from different people, and have fun in the process.
