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.
