I was one of the early recipients of the of the new Wits Business School MBA programme. I found the whole executional and social interaction highly rewarding. My MBA from Wits helped me when I was recruited by ITT in Europe where I spent a few years working for ITT in London.

I remember my study group fondly, we spent many wonderful hours studying, interacting and became friends.

I have lived in the USA for 35 years and would love to get in touch with the Class of 73. Thanks for a great education, a congratulations on achieving this milestone.

I had asked Prof Patrick McGraw to borrow his teaching notes to copy, intending to return it the following week. Over the weekend my car was stolen, with his notes, my course materials, and text books. Thank you to Douglas Jung and friends who helped me with copies of their files so that I could prepare for the exams. The MBA program taught me that you can survive any hardship if you have a strong support network.
