MBA Alumni Advisory Board Committees
“In my discussions with friends
and colleagues from Harvard, Wharton, North Carolina
and Duke, I have realized that I received as good
. . . an education as they did. What I lacked was
the network on the back end and the reputation of
the school that I could ride in opening doors for
me. The actual education, however, was right up there.”
Ron Gridley, Pamplin MBA ‘87
