On Sunday, our EMBA Class of 2025 returned from an unforgettable international residency in Bogotá, Colombia. This trip marks one of their final milestones before graduation!

While in Colombia, this cohort tackled real-world consulting projects for global clients and delivered impactful presentations that showcased their strategic insight and professionalism. Outside the boardroom, they spent a day at a local school where they painted a mural, played fútbol, and shared a meal with students. It was a powerful experience that left a lasting impression.

With graduation just around the corner, this group continues to embody what it means to lead with both excellence and empathy, representing the KSU Executive MBA program with pride on the global stage. Congratulations, EMBA Class of 2025. You continue to make us proud!
