We are celebrating all of the Moms, like our own Celia Koehler (MBA '23) who are proving that growth doesn't stop when life gets busy.💐 Every assignment completed early in the morning, every late-night study session and the "I'll figure it out somehow" moments in between deserve to be recognized. 🎉💌

We 🧡 our alums! It was great seeing everyone who showed up IRL in Toronto.

Being an online program, in-person meetings are extra special! It’s not an isolated journey. Your community is always there, near or far. 🌎 ✈️

Here’s to more gatherings in the future!

What an incredible evening! A huge thanks to our alumni Ishaw Sharma, MBA and Ray S. MacDonald, who generously gave their time to share their Athabasca University MBA for executives journey.

We had real conversations with senior-level professionals who are at the crossroads in their careers. The themes that kept coming up were:

- Can I actually do this while working full-time?
- Does the credential carry weight?
- Will it make a difference in progressing my career?
The answer is yes to all three!

Ishaw and Ray shared what it was like to do the AU MBA program:

✅The flexibility that lets you keep your career moving while pursuing the MBA - including our unique 4 entry pathways!

✅The credibility that comes with AACSB accreditation – an international standard that only the top 6% of business schools have.

✅Connecting the dots from theory to practice in your current workplace, an immediate ROI

Thank you to everyone who joined us and to our incredible alumni who dedicated their time and energy to the event. You are the best proof of what this program can do.

If you’re wondering whether or not the MBA is right for you, feel free to DM us!
