Connect with members of the Foster MBA community
Connecting with current students and alumni is one of the best ways to deepen your understanding of the Foster culture. If you haven’t already, we encourage you to learn more about the Foster MBA experience by connecting one on one with current students or alumni.
MBA Student Connections are small, informal Zoom gatherings which provide an unique opportunity to get inside information about the Foster MBA experience directly from the source- current Full-time MBA students. Please note that we also have community specific MBA Student Connections that might be of particular interest to you, such as Veterans, LGBTQIA+, and Diversity in Business. We encourage you to review the upcoming schedule of MBA Student Connections and register today!
For a one-on-one conversation, we provide opportunities to talk with both current students and alumni! To get connected, please fill out our ambassador request form and include some details about your background and interests. Our ambassador coordinators will do their best to connect you with a member of our current student or alumni community who can share more about their experience here at Foster with you!
