Student Spotlight:
Hiteeksha Ghai (’20)
Campus Lead Ambassador at the India Student Hub. On her leadership experience she had this to say:
“Every school at UCLA, especially Anderson lives up to its notion of diversity and inclusion; which is what led me to represent the University as Campus Lead Ambassador at the India Student Hub (an initiative by Embassy of India, Washington D.C.). I aspire to connect students and faculty at the university with their counterparts in India to foster cross-culturalism.

Anderson’s prestigious MFE program is a perfect proportional blend of programming, statistics, math and finance; which is what I was looking for. From the program’s duration, to the curriculum and projects, everything aligns with the goal of practical training. The faculty imparts conceptual knowledge and all the theory just seems so relevant and relatable to real-world applications.

By studying at a business school, I am honing my networking and communication skills as the program connects us with alumni, corporates and students from other programs.”

The MFE career service is permanently organizing professional workshops, networking events, and individual career counseling to prepare us for the professional world.”

Our Winter Quant Industry Open House was a success! We saw valuable connections made between industry professionals and our students, welcomed alumni returning to play the professional role on the other side of the table, and hosted stimulating conversations over a delicious dinner.
