Partner testimonial:
"The Hofstra MBA students have been incredible to work with; they come with a can-do attitude and are very eager to learn. With that, the rest comes easy. While training is provided, we find it's best to fully immerse the students. As such, the students join all internal meetings as well as client meetings. We feel it's important they see projects full circle, so the client exposure and interaction is key for that experience." – Lara Bass, EGC Group
