few years of their involvement.
The luncheon honorees included:

with the management
strategy/consulting cluster.

anchor component of the Smith School’s
commitment to bringing real-world career
experiences to current MBA students. The
program was launched in 2002 with the
help of the Alumni Mentor Committee,
including '99 MBA alumni and co-chairs
Landon Johnson and Ricardo Benn.
