“As a prospective applicant, I knew Johnson would open doors for me, but JMB opened my eyes to how Johnson is not just a great name to have on my resume, but a deeply connected, welcoming, and fun community!”
Lindsay Barnes, JMB Co-Chair, MBA 2020
“Planning for JMB this year has been a truly rewarding experience. I’m proud to have our Johnson community really come together to ensure that our prospective students enjoy the various aspects of being a student here. We hope that everyone who attends JMB leaves the weekend with a good idea of what it means to be a member of this great community.”
Clementina Ojie, JMB Co-Chair, MBA 2020
“JMB allowed me to see Johnson’s tight-knit community in action. Whether networking with alumni, meeting with esteemed faculty, or getting wrapped up in the perennial excitement of the Marketing Association’s Battle of the Brands competition, it was always clear to me that Johnson offered the high achieving and supportive culture that I wanted.”
Steven Van Vechten, JMB 2017, MBA 2020
“JMB is an amazing opportunity to get a feel for Johnson and Ithaca, while meeting diverse candidates and current students in a fun and welcoming way. JMB is one of the best ways to experience Johnson as a prospective student.”
