Executive MBA Alumni Monique L. Davis talks about his EMBA experience at Robinson

"Throughout the program and since graduation, I have employed the tools taught in the classroom daily, both in the workplace and in other organizations to which I belong. I attribute much of my success today, professionally and personally, to the foundation the EMBA program provided. It has been a springboard for my career and a catalyst for keeping my mind in the continual learning mode. The sacrifices made for those two years continue to yield priceless opportunities. I do not feel my experience in the Robinson EMBA program could be successfully replicated by any business school."
