Ash Bagla MBA 23

"As I reflect on my time at the GSM, it’s become clear—no matter what happiness means to you, you can find fulfilment at UC Davis. An MBA is worth more professionally if, in addition to establishing an academic foundation, you’re able to 'get stuff done.' That could be through community engagement, partnerships or co-curriculars. It all pays off."
