First-year MBA students Veronica Lee ’27 and Michal Kozuchowski ’27 reflect on their experiences at the Reaching Out MBA conference.
In late September, they had the honor of representing Yale SOM at the Reaching Out MBA (ROMBA) Conference in New Orleans, Louisiana.
They were 2 of roughly 20 SOM students who attended, continuing the school’s proud tradition as one of ROMBA’s founding member institutions.
ROMBA brings together LGBTQ+ MBA students, alumni, and business leaders for a weekend of connection, career exploration, and community.
This year’s theme,
“Rhythm and Resilience”, reflected both the vibrancy of New Orleans and the strength of the LGBTQ+ business community.
On Friday, they joined the main conference programming and connected with MBA students from across the country, as well as representatives from a range of employers.
