McDonough’s Searches For International Talent

The McDonough School of Business admissions team has been hopping all across the globe this summer. With 27 trips to 16 cities, 12 countries, and five continents, this effort comes in order recruit top international MBA students and enhance the school’s global perspective. As the MBA admissions team travels across the world, they hope to find the brightest students to join the MBA program beginning in 2015.

 In July, the MBA admissions team was represented in:

• Tokyo, Japan, for an MBA alumni fair staffed by Yuichiro Sugiyama (MBA ’13)

In August, the team will make its way to:

• Bogota, Columbia, for an MBA fair

And the traveling won’t end with the summer— during the month of September, the MBA admissions staff will attend MBA tours in:

• Beijing and Shanghai, China
• Bangalore and New Delhi, India

 During the month of October, the admissions team will be attending the following events:
