I cannot emphasize the relationships portion of this journey enough, but Haas does an exceptional job at this part. I feel I am leaving this with 70 close friends — all of whom I could call at any moment for advice or a gut check. This alone makes the program worth it. In this environment, learning transcends textbooks and lectures. It becomes a living, breathing entity fueled by the collective wisdom and experiences of your peers."
