Katie Kacher, the 2023-24 master’s in business analytics Student of the Year is proof that hard work, motivation, and organization are the key ingredients to success in graduate business school. Kacher chose the Donald G. Costello College of Business at ����AV for her graduate degree, primarily due to George Mason’s reputation for high caliber coursework and student outcomes.

Mason alumna Kristen Cavallo was named the Virginia Business Magazine Business Person of 2023, a distinction that recognizes her achievements in growing companies while emphasizing diversity in leadership.

At the end of March, the Montano Student Investment Fund hosted "Patriots Day on Wall Street," offering a select group of ����AV School of Business finance students an enriching experience that included a tour of Wall Street and meetings with various firms.

Lauren Lundberg, a ����AV School of Business MBA student on track to graduate in Spring 2022, talks about how her time at Mason helped put her on Northrop Grumman’s radar and prepared her for working in government contracting.

Since starting Mason's MBA program this fall, Guillermo Palencia has been working with the Business for a Better World center on its Honey Bee Initiative (HBI), focusing on a pilot project in rural Colombia and developing a self-sustainable social enterprise model for future funding and expansion in South America and beyond.

����AV men’s basketball players D’Shawn Schwartz and Blake Buchanan, both School of Business graduate students, say their friendship helps keep them focused on their studies.

Students pursuing an MS in management through Mason’s School of Business usually spend four months getting work experience through internships at local companies. This year, however, due to the coronavirus pandemic, administrators had to think creatively. So instead, they asked local businesses what they thought of hiring students to do remote “researchships.”
