Kicking off the year in Ann Arbor with the African Business Conference at the Stephen M. Ross School of Business, hosted by the Africa Business Club. I am quite looking forward to it.
In every corner of the continent, you will meet them: some of the brightest minds of their generation, armed with prestigious degrees from world-class European universities, fluent in the language of global policy, and deeply committed to Africaโs development.
As I write this, Iโm midway through the third of four semesters in my MBA journey โ a moment that invites both gratitude and introspection. On paper, Iโve completed more than 80% of the program. In practice, it feels like Iโve only just begun to understand the magnitude of the work Iโm meant to do in this world.
The Burgess Institute for Entrepreneurship & Innovation is the reason I chose MSU. At Burgess, students donโt have to wait until after graduation to start building. They are encouragedโand equippedโto test ideas, fail fast, iterate, and grow while still in school.
