“My motivation to pursue an MBA degree was founded in the desire for personal accomplishment,” said Kyra Treible, UAGC MBA graduate and roundtable panelist. “What I gained is so much more than that. I now have the language skills I need to communicate with cross-departmental teams and a curiosity about the holistic business model that empowers me to add more value through my individual role.”
