โ€œThe program gave me exactly what I needed. I was promoted to my current role less than two months after graduation.

Gies got me back into learning mode. I picked up an additional role as an adjunct professor of business at a University in Chicago, and I'm about six months away from completing my Doctor of Business Administration degree at another university, all because of finding my purpose at Gies.โ€
