Dino Adamou, MBA 04
As an international student, I wanted to find a business school that matched my professional and personal goals and recognized the value of diversity. The Olin School has exceeded all my expectations of a top ranked business school. The flexible curriculum gives me the opportunity to take numerous elective courses in my area of interest and learn with a hands-on approach through the Center for Experiential Learning. International students make up about a third of the class, lending a truly global approach to management studies, and the small class size creates an environment where I get individualized attention from my professors and tremendous support from my classmates. I am part of the Olin community and know that I have the very best resources with me as I carry my career forward.
