After six years of project management and systems analysis experience—most recently in the health care realm with Accenture in Austin, Texas—Trevor Hsu decided to pursue an MBA with a health care specialization.
Welcome Weekend at Owen reinforced the sense he had made the right choice. "I left with the dean of students' contact information, and quickly reached out to him about opportunities in the months before our start date," says the Delaware native. "I can't imagine attending a larger school where this level of interaction would be much more difficult."
Trevor compares the skills required for the MBA program to those he learned as a mixtape DJ. "You have to listen to two songs at the same time—one on the speakers and one through the headphones," he says. "If the tempos don't quite match, you use your finger to slow down or speed up a record. Owen is similar, in that there are opportunities to balance school, clubs and social activities. The ability to customize your own experience gives each of us the control to achieve a perfect mix."
Although his brother is a surgeon, Trevor only began to appreciate the complexities and challenges of the health care business during the program's unique immersion experience, which included watching a brain surgery. "More importantly, the experience confirmed my desire to make a mark in this industry."
