China. My concentration is Finance and Strategy. I am seeking a
career in financial services when I graduate.
My goals for the

cultural exchange between all the MBA students at Smith. We have
a great community of students from a variety of backgrounds and
I believe that there is a lot to learn from our fellow
classmates".

Hideki Kakuma VP of Student Affairs
"I'm from Tokyo, Japan. Before I came to Smith, I worked at
a Japanese investment bank for several years. As a typical
Japanese, I had no experience of living in any foreign country,
and actually this is the first time to live in the U.S. So, I'm
now really impressed by the diversity at Smith and feeling truly
happy to join this community.
After MBA, I hope to work at any international subsidiary of my
current employer, which are located in the major cities of the
U.S., Europe, and Asia. Thus, the experience at Smith is
extremely important for me, and I need to learn not only MBA
classes but also how I can enjoy the rest of my life".
