Alumni Showcase

The Darden Alumni Showcase is a student-led initiative to annually highlight Darden graduates whose careers reflect the diversity and full potential of the Darden MBA. Students asked the Darden community to nominate candidates for the Showcase and to consider the industry from which they come, their achievements, geographical location, professional background before Darden and cultural background. Selected alumni have achieved success in their industries and communities through leadership, vision and determination.
