Success Stories

Many graduates of the Crummer School of Business have gone on to achieve great distinction in their careers. Here is just a small sample:

Al Weiss, President, Walt Disney World Resort

Jimmy Park, Business Analyst, Global Solutions/PCS
"You've been told you need work experience before getting an MBA. I don't think so. Other MBA programs require several years of work experience, but the Crummer School's Domestic Consulting Projects give you that experience by the time you graduate."

Jimmy Park, '98
Business Analyst, Global Solutions/PCS
B.A. University of Florida
M.B.A. Crummer Graduate School, Rollins College

After Jimmy graduated from the EAMBA program, he joined Global Solution. His success, he states, was due to the fact that Rollins MBA gave him the necessary tools to flourish in the workplace.
