What happens when an Executive MBA class project meets 12 years of relentless persistence? It lands on the shelves of the world’s largest retailer.

When Morehouse College alum and Georgia MBA grad Jon Dabney (EMBA ’14) noticed high prices and recurring quality issues in his children's athletic apparel he saw a market opportunity. Using an entrepreneurship course at the University of Georgia Terry Executive Education Center as his launching pad, Jon conducted focus groups with female athletes to solve long-standing design flaws like rolling waistbands and sheer fabrics. That market-driven research became the foundation for his brand, Rocketsports-1 Women's Activewear.

Competing against global activewear giants required a long-term strategy built on EMBA management principles, targeted organic marketing, and a memorable moment of inspiration. During a Terry domestic residency trip to Omaha, Jon shared his business concept during a one-on-one moment with Warren Buffett. Buffett’s advice was simple yet defining: "That could become something really big someday. Go for it!"

Jon did exactly that.

This month, RocketSports-1 achieved its biggest milestone yet, launching in 37 Walmart stores nationwide and online at Walmart.com.

Georgia MBA at Terry College of Business | UGA Terry College of Business Alumni

08/21/2026

Fall semester is officially in full swing at the University of Georgia! Our students aren’t just arriving at a top-tier university; they’re joining an institution recently named a Top 12 Public Best Value College by The Princeton Review. With top national marks for alumni network strength ( #8) and internship placement ( #16), the opportunities for our future business leaders are limitless.

Combined with a 10th consecutive year in the Top 20 public universities (U.S. News & World Report), the value of a UGA degree has never been clearer. From hands-on experiential learning to the strength of an elite alumni network, our students are equipped to lead from day one.

New leadership, strategic vision, and an exciting road ahead for the University of Georgia Terry College of Business. Dean Santanu Chatterjee officially kicked off the 2026–2027 Terry Third Thursday series this morning with key updates on Terry’s momentum and priorities. Go Dawgs!

Nine thousand miles from Athens, eleven students from the University of Georgia spent six weeks in Sydney discovering that true professional growth happens far beyond your comfort zone. As part of the inaugural Terry College Australian Internship Program, these students traded familiar corporate environments in Georgia for Sydney’s dynamic financial hub. While the setting offered plenty of iconic sights, the real transformation happened inside the workplace, where students navigated an international business culture defined by flat hierarchies, globally diverse teams, and unique market dynamics.

For senior finance major Robert Bosart, working as a shareholder analyst at FIRST Advisers meant stepping away from the typical structured domestic internship and stepping into true independence. Operating in a lean, multi-national team with colleagues from New Zealand, Britain, and East Asia forced him to adapt quickly and view financial strategy through a global lens. Meanwhile, at Envest, Australia’s largest private insurance brokerage, economics and financial planning student Dayton Brantley experienced firsthand the region's remarkably accessible corporate culture—sitting directly across from the CFO, sharing the exact same workstation setup, and engaging in daily peer-to-peer dialogue.

This open environment fostered mentorship and international collaboration. Management and public health student Athena Misewicz worked directly with the CEO at health-tech consultancy Previsior, realizing that her distinct U.S. background provided unique market insight for client projects looking to expand internationally.

By stepping into unfamiliar territory, these Business Bulldogs returned to campus with far more than just international resume credentials. They gained the adaptability, cross-cultural confidence, and resilience needed to lead in an interconnected global economy.

“I found a large floral poster to put up in my living room during my first trip, but I just had to come back.” — Sofia Alfieri, Risk Management and Insurance Student at the University of Georgia

From market trends to campus traditions, the start of a new academic year at the University of Georgia brings energy, community, and a fresh look to student spaces. For nearly 40 years, the annual Tate Student Center Poster Sale has served as both a welcoming tradition and a fascinating barometer of shifting consumer tastes.

This year, economics and business students had a front-row seat to evolving market preferences in real time. While massive, wall-sized posters once dominated student tastes, buyers are now pivoting toward curated gallery walls composed of four to six smaller prints. Athens serves as the very first stop on the College Poster Sale's national tour, a testament to a 35-year partnership with UGA, giving nearly 1,000 students a day the very first pick from over 1,400 designs to personalize their living spaces.

"Leadership is not about having all the answers. It is about quickly understanding a space, asking meaningful questions, and gaining clarity so that the next steps become clear."

Congratulations to Michele Lillard (EMBA '26), chosen as one of Poets&Quants 2026 Best & Brightest Executive MBAs! Go Dawgs!
