"My time at Gies, especially working with the Office of Career & Professional Development , gave me the confidence to navigate a competitive job market. The MSM program’s blend of business acumen, technical skills, and career support directly prepared me for my current role. The ROI on the program isn’t just in landing a job—it’s in the skills, network, and mindset I carry forward every day.”
Mallika Acharya, MSM '24
Business Systems Analyst at Verdesian Life Sciences
“The MSM program gave me real-world experience through the business practicum course, where I got to work on meaningful projects and apply what I was learning. I met some incredible peers who’ve become lifelong friends, and the professors and staff that were incredibly supportive and genuinely cared about our success. With access to the Office of Career & Professional Development , career fairs, and so many additional resources, I felt prepared for my career journey. Being a student ambassador was also a meaningful part of my experience—I truly enjoyed connecting with prospective students and sharing what made the program so valuable.”
Kayla Nowinski, MSM '24
Membership and Operations Associate at Smithbucklin
“Gies really helped prepare me for this role. Gaining STEM knowledge was a big goal of mine, and it ended up being one of the reasons a hiring manager was interested in my profile in the first place. Job searching as an international student can be challenging but keep pushing. It’s a numbers game, and consistency matters. Take advantage of every resource available - reach out to international alumni, meet 1:1 with the provided Industry Consultants, utilize Gies' Career & Professional Development team, talk to staff and professors. Lastly, don’t underestimate the impact of an on-campus job. A supportive boss can make all the difference, whether it’s through a great reference or a referral.”
