One of the lessons Jeremy Fong learned in his Leadership class is that "success is achieved when opportunity meets preparation." His studies and the network he is developing at Haas are preparing him for just those opportunities.
"The power of networks became clear during a fascinating project in my Leadership class, where we looked at the social networks of various business leaders. Those who leverage networks have the power to influence people and change the world."
"An MBA was part of my 'five-year plan.' My experience in the entertainment industry focused on digital media and new technology. I wanted to learn more about finance and some of the more traditional business disciplines. I wanted to understand how all the different parts intertwine."
"I’m constantly amazed by the quality of the minds represented among the faculty and the students here. They make me think on a whole new level. There is a real family feeling among my classmates."
"Last year, through the Community Service Committee at Haas, I helped build a 'Toy Store' at Sacred Heart School in Santa Clara, where children from less fortunate circumstances could get toys they otherwise wouldn’t have. It was an invaluable experience that I will remember for years to come."
