I was not a frequent user of LinkedIn when I graduated from the Gagliardi School of Business and Economics at Thompson Rivers University back in 2022, and I’ve always regretted not fully celebrating the achievement of my Master of Business Administration degree at the time. Time to celebrate!🎉🎉🎉 This program blew my expectations out of the water. It was 100x better than I had ever expected. From my experience, the focus of the business professors at TRU is not on research, which some may look at as a detriment to the University. On the contrary. Their focus is on TEACHING. Because of this, I received a business education well beyond what can be expected of the big research schools. The problem at these research institutes is their teaching professors are stuck in their own research with little to no time for their students. I received so much guidance, advice, and skilled teaching throughout my MBA experience at TRU, I could not be more thankful for the connections that I made and the amazing teaching professors that I worked with along the way. What is an organization without its output? In my opinion TRU’s most valuable output is its highly educated alumni, and I am so thankful to be included on that list. Thank you to my peers, my professors, the institution, and my family for supporting and guiding me along the way. Signing off, Jake Boyle, MBA
