Yekhiel Orokunle MBA 23

Why did you choose UC Davis?

While attending the UC Davis Graduate School of Management Showcase Day at the Sacramento campus, I felt great about its learning experience, collaborative spirit, and diversity of viewpoints and backgrounds. Also, I wanted to merge an engineering background with a flexible MBA curriculum in concentrations such as entrepreneurship, business analytics, marketing and strategy, and technology management. This synthesis would enable me to create competitive business solutions in technology. To bring everything to fruition, UC Davis support for students, faculty, and alumni would play a pivotal role.
