In the fall, Stern attends the Pre-MBA Admissions Summit by ROMBA (Reaching Out MBA) each year. The conference includes a networking session with current LGBTQ+ MBA students, panels with school admission officers, and a Business School Expo with 70+ MBA programs.

It’s a great way for prospective MBA-students to get acquainted with the admission process and access program fit!
