University of California Summer Institute for Emerging Managers and Leaders

Interested in graduate business school? Join us for this free UC-wide business school panel and GMAT prep webinar on April 23. This event is designed for early career candidates but all are welcome. You do not need to be an SIEML alumnus to attend. https://sieml.universityofcalifornia.edu/events/

Last week, SIEML visited four of our UC campuses in Southern California. It was a fantastic experience engaging in meaningful conversations with staff, alumni, and prospective students. Here are some photo highlights.

From Florida to California, today we spotlight UC San Diego MBA Afiya Ward.

Afiya was a 2023 White House HBCU Scholar and worked as a business analyst at Capital One prior to joining the MBA Class of 2026.

For prospective students and program alumni, the Summer Institute for Emerging Managers and Leaders will be in Southern California next week. We invite you to join us in San Diego and Los Angeles.

Loved seeing SIEML alumni and meeting with prospective students at our networking mixer in DC. Added bonus touristy photos from our nation’s capitol.

Huge thanks to Assistant Dean Yah Williams, the team, for hosting me at campus yesterday. Very much enjoyed meeting everyone and the talented DSU students. Shout out to Nye for being such an eloquent and engaging speaker, and sharing what the week and a half of fully funded business and leadership program plus potential for graduate business support has meant for you.

As we were taught to show gratitude and kindness to one another throughout SIEML 2024 we’d like to send one final thank you to the 6 UC schools, UC Davis Staff, UCOP staff, and Alumni Coordinators for all of your hard work behind the scenes and on the frontline. You’ve all played a powerful role in everyone’s experience and the students look forward to staying in touch! ❤️‍🔥
