Guest Post: Veterans Open House at Darden

Jason R. Macri, Class of 2013, is one of over 40 Darden Military Association members attending the Veterans Open House on 3 September. In this blog, Jason writes why military veterans interested in pursuing an MBA should attend the Open House:

Choosing to leave the military is often much harder than the decision to join.  Applying to business school adds another layer of complexity — from career prospects to social outlets, the application process can seem overwhelming.  Fortunately Darden is here to help.

Celebrate your Federal Holiday in Charlottesville, VA at the Darden School of Business’s inaugural Veterans Open House on Monday, 3 September.  The event will provide an inside look at the MBA admission process, Darden’s unique case method of teaching and the School’s community; we will also provide a tour of the Darden Grounds and have presentations and panels covering a range of topics from financial aid to student life and career opportunities.

Space is limited, so early registration is recommended.

We look forward to showing you why Darden is ranked No. 1 in both Education Experience and Student Satisfaction!
