Alumni Spotlights

After graduating from the Mason School of Business, Chris Taylor M.B.A. ’02 took a temporary position at Blackwater, while waiting for his management consultant job to start. It was an experience that would change his career course forever.

After four years at the College, Ann Marie Graham ’06, M.Acc. ’07 and Greg Higgins ’05, M.B.A. ’07 didn’t even consider another institution for their graduate work. Between them they have four William and Mary degrees, three of which are from the Mason School of Business.

“William and Mary was the springboard,” says Andrew Kese M.B.A. ’00. “I had an intuition about business, but my education there filled in the gaps.”

“After earning my MBA, I feel like I am a better physician,” says Vinh. “I learned how to make better medical decisions.”

“It was a great experience to be able to get a William and Mary education with the same professors and faculty,” says van der Oord, “but at the convenience of my career and schedule. The Flex program offered everything I needed.”

After earning her undergraduate degree in English Literature, Jun went on to pursue an M.S. in electronic commerce. She attended the Flex MBA program at the Mason School, while working for Hewlett Packard.

While working as a personnelist in the Air Force Reserves, Jeniffer van der Oord Flex M.B.A. ’10 decided a Flex M.B.A. from the Mason School of Business would give her the tools she needed.
