-: So I think Virginia has helped me be successful
in a couple ways.
One, the business undergrad program is very, very strong.
Honestly, I went back and got my MBA
about five years post-grad, and I think the classes
I took at McIntire for the most part,
were actually more challenging than the classes
I took doing my MBA.
But that experience, for me, was really about
building a network, and giving me leverage
to make a big career switch.
But the other thing that Virginia gave me
was a network in and of itself,
because some of the people that I went back to
to ask for advice on business school,
or that helped connect me to my first couple jobs
in the DC area were fellow UVA alum.
And even today, when I meet them,
we do have a few at American Express,
they're so passionate about the school,
and giving back, and how we can help current students.
