Cohort reps are student leaders who build a
sense of community within our MBA Community.
These representatives are dedicated to creating a vibrant and inclusive environment, ensuring that every member of the MBA community feels connected and supported. Through their leadership, cohort reps contribute to the overall success and well-being of our diverse and dynamic MBAs.
