Master of Science in Management (MSM) Student Stories

Recent Master's in Management graduates share their experience in the Gies MSM program. If you are interested in speaking with a current MSM student ambassador, please visit the Graduate Student Ambassador page.

"My favorite memories were the times spent together as a cohort, whether in between classes, at get-togethers, or studying in groups. To current and future students: you are part of this program to graduate with more skills than you started with. To do this: Seek help if needed. If you are falling behind in a course or having a hard time outside of class, get support from professors, faculty, and staff. They are there to help you succeed! Also, take advantage of opportunities, like networking events, career fairs, and informational sessions. It gives you the chance to talk with professionals and learn more about what you do (or don't!) want in a career."

"Gies is a family for me. It’s my community. I stay connected because I know in this community so many people are ready and willing to offer life and career advice. Many people have been through the very same journey I am on and have gone on to have a great impact on the world, being connected to that is something so special to me. It is an inspiration and makes me want to always remember to do business with purpose."

Sinesipo Sibuta, MSM '24

"The pace of the MSM was perfect for me. While you’re in it, it feels like a lot, but it was quick and reflective of the pace of the business world. I use my MSM degree every day, whether it be directly applying the business acumen that I acquired in the program, or by using interpersonal skills that were sharpened during my time at Gies. My MSM degree helped me hit the ground running as a new employee."

Jonathan Starks, MSM '23
