"I enjoy solving problems and leading people. When I chose to further my education, Ross emphasized these characteristics in a team-oriented environment. I found the Ross School’s concept of leading in thought and action a key to how I have tried to carry myself. I found that Ross was the best choice due to my extensive military background of leading and learning in teams."

"The opportunities for veterans and active duty members at Ross are substantial – clubs, recruiting, etc. Both professors and students respect military experience and look for leadership experience in class discussions and activities. Ross was the single school that seemed to actively recruit and desire my military experience. And, people at Ross went out of their way to connect me with other veterans even before the school year started."

"Ross has provided an exceptional community in which to study business fundamentals and translate the tenets of Army leadership into private sector skills. The diverse environment at Ross encouraged me to experiment with different topics of study while broadening my understanding of the modern business environment. The application of our studies beyond just case work proved critical to what I have learned while at Ross."

"I went to Ross because it was the best choice for my family, and the entrepreneurship opportunities were outstanding. I started my first company, a campus coffee shop, while in school. Since then I have founded two for-profit firms, one nonprofit, and I helped start a technology firm. The educational opportunities at Ross complemented my experience and helped me prepare for my current career."
