HEAR FROM OUR ALUMNI What they love about the University of Arizona

SUMEET AGARWAL Bachelor’s Degree, MIS, Class of 1999 MD-Midmark (India) Pvt Ltd Mumbai

The most valuable part of my time at UArizona was developing cultural sensitivities and becoming open to new perspectives from individuals from different parts of the world. My advice to students is to be open to explore. Take in all the experiences that you can. This is the best time to forge long terms bonds and build your personality. Make the most of it!

“The skills that I acquired doing my BS in MIS were instrumental in helping me deliver a top-tier performance in every role that I have undertaken since graduation, from consulting at Deloitte to being the MD of a multi-million-dollar company.”

VENU MADHAV MS Industrial Engineering, Class of 2003 VP- Strategy & Operations, Credexo Inc, Houston, Texas With a vibrant and global student community that competes at best levels, and a supportive infrastructure, the campus is safe and there is lot of help available for international students. The knowledge and skills I learned as a student helped me pitch a multimillion-dollar business idea right out of school, launching me on a career path. The ability to participate in co-curriculars like intramurals, etc. to build personality and character are very helpful. For most people from India, the adjustment to weather & climate is easy. There is also a host family privilege that can help new students bridge the transition.

“The best part of studying at UArizona was the access to experts in several disciplines. Students get to meet some of the best professors in academia, do research with and interact and learn from them.”

AJAY JAIN MS Electrical & Computer Engineering, Class of 2003 Director- Business Development Magnaquest Technologies Hyderabad My most important learning here was the idea of breaking down my tasks, learning regularly and how different departments can work together to bring amazing results. Apart from the education, I enjoyed using the amazing sports facilities, some great treks in and around Tucson and most importantly the Mexican food. Being a vegetarian, this was welcome!

Furthermore, Tucson being a huge school and a university town, most activities are aligned to the student community.

“I believe students who are keen to get some world-class learning within strong academic departments should consider University of Arizona.”

AMIT JHAVERI BSBA, MIS & Marketing, Class of 2002 Partner, Jhaveri’s, Mumbai

UA has a perfect blend of simplicity and complexity. The campus is in a small town which really helps in concentrating in your academics because it is far away from all the hustle and bustle of a large metro city. And yet, the university itself is large campus, spread across acres of land having a separate building for each field of study, providing any major that one would think of pursuing along with the highest standards in the world.

MANNU WAHAL Bachelor’s Degree, Economics, Class of 2014 Marketing Analyst, My Supplier Canada My interactions drew me to taking active parts in different clubs on the campus that ranged from Co-ed Business Fraternities, Missionary Clubs, Film-Making Organizations and even an on-campus Marketing society. I also thoroughly enjoyed working several different jobs on campus during my six years stay at the university. One of these jobs was tutoring international students in a bunch of foreign languages other than English e.g., Hindi/Urdu, Swahili, Cantonese, Mandarin and Swedish etc. I tutored Hindi and thoroughly enjoyed it. I made friends from Kuwait, Saudi Arabia, UAE, Pakistan, China, Japan, Taiwan, and Sudan as well as with kids coming from all over the United States.

“What struck me the most about the University of Arizona was its rich diversity. It was a complete joy to meet and make friends with people from around the world.”

SHIVANI PATEL Master of Engineering, Material Sciences, Class of 2016 Research Consultant, Mondra Daman & Diu

Tucson is lovely. The climate was well suited to me, and I enjoyed every part of campus as I was a resident in the LaAldea dorm. I used to travel to Phoenix, too, which is nearby. I would advise students to choose courses according to your liking.

My master’s course helped me in understanding more of my compassion towards the circular economy and resource management. Tucson itself will give you a lot of opportunities once you are done with your studies, whether you stay there or go anywhere in the world...Every wildcat will do awesome in their life.

SHILADITYA SINGH MS, Management Information Systems, Class of 2016 Manager, PWC Chicago, USA I studied MIS at Eller College of Management - one of the top-ranked programs the university offers, it truly prepares you for the outside world. The courses, professors, opportunities, teamwork, networking, experience - everything will help you go a long way in life. Work smart to achieve great things. I advise students to be a team player – network with others and you will never be alone. And ask for help - you don’t have to do it all by yourself. Leadership, communication, empathy, passion, patience, agility, etc., are key skills you want to hone, to ensure a successful career in technology consulting. Remember, both successes and failures will help you grow.

“Be open to learning, be flexible and curious. Get out of your comfort zone and you will be challenged every day in different ways.”
