What is the greatest benefit of CGSM:
The CGSM Family! Both within Tepper and CGSM, the culture of support and connectedness is embedded within the fabric of each individual. My Tepper journey was initiated through a conversation with a CGSM fellow and my overall MBA journey continues to be enhanced through these relationships.

Why I Chose Tepper:

Coming from a marketing background, I wasn't exposed to the technology and data analytics skills needed to excel in a marketing leadership role in a tech company. I knew Tepper would help me close that gap and re-enter the workforce as an industry leader.
