Tepper MBA Leadership Journey: Keller Durkin
"The day you decide you don't need any more leadership development is the day you stop being a leader."
Keller Durkin, MBA 2019, knew when applying to business school that he - as a career switcher, not a career climber - needed an MBA program that met his specific needs. Through an introspective look at his past career and by earning leadership development certification from the Accelerate Leadership Center, Keller learned to empower not only himself, but his community.
