The first entry in our continuing series introducing a handful of members of this fall’s incoming Tippie MBA class. This is where we’ll share information about the diverse backgrounds of our incoming students. We’ll tell you where they are, where they came from, their background, and why Tippie is the right fit for them – plus a few fun facts, too!
