MBA Student Spotlight

Adib Darwan (FastTrak MBA) Current Position: Full-Time Student
Why did you choose the FastTrak MBA format?The NIU MBA Fast-Trak program provided several benefits that no other program in the Chicagoland area provides. A one year curriculum, dual degrees in Business Administration and International Management, and an opportunity to travel and experience the French culture made this format the obvious choice. |
What have you found to be the most rewarding part of the MBA program thus far?
Being able to interact with 30+ people from a variety of different countries and learn from their experiences is by far the most rewarding part of this program. Living and attending classes in Bordeaux, France for 6 weeks was also extremely rewarding as we were able to be fully immersed in the French culture.
What are your current interests and hobbies?
Whenever possible I enjoy travelling. By spending time in France I was able to visit several companies in Europe. The next region I would like to visit is the Far East! I am a HUGE sports fan. I enjoy doing anything related to sports. In the summer I enjoy golfing and in the winter I enjoy skiing. Both are activities that I have picked up in the last few years.
