Priti Sesha (MBA ’96) knows firsthand the transformative impact of education.
Her decision to pursue an MBA at Schulich marked a turning point in her life, opening doors to new possibilities and shaping both her career and perspective on the world.
Living on campus allowed Priti to immerse herself in the vibrant Schulich community. Surrounded by classmates from a wide range of cultures, industries, and life experiences, she was challenged to think differently and see the world through a new lens. The experience allowed her to foster a deeper appreciation for diverse points of view, and helped shape the way she approaches leadership, decision-making, and collaboration.
It wasn't until years after earning her degree that Priti fully appreciated the life-changing impact of financial aid. During a professional development course, she met a young man whose life had been disrupted by conflict. Forced to leave his family and live in a refugee camp, he nevertheless held fast to his dream of attending university. A full scholarship eventually made that dream possible and changed the course of his life.
His story reinforced a simple but profound truth: financial support can do far more than fund an education. It can unlock potential and ensure that talented, determined students are not held back by financial barriers.
Priti's gratitude for her Schulich experience inspires her commitment to giving back. By leaving a gift in her will to Schulich, she is helping create opportunities for future students, empowering the next generation of leaders to pursue their ambitions and realize their potential.
