Alumni Perspectives

Class of 1994

“Eric was instrumental in keeping our class connected after graduation and organized several of our reunions, there is probably no better way to honor him than by continuing to stay connected and committed to each other and the program” – Sandeep Vishnu (MBA’94), member of Georgetown McDonough’s MBA Alumni Advisory Council

Class of 1997

“Our class met almost 30 years ago, and we remained engaged with Georgetown and one another because we deeply value the personal connections we formed here. We hope this scholarship fund will help Georgetown recruit the best future Hoyas – students who will build meaningful relationships of their own and find their place within our community. ” – Svet Nikov (MBA’97), member of McDonough’s MBA Alumni Advisory Council 

Class of 1998

“We hope this fund shows other classes what is possible when you leverage the power of many to achieve a broader vision for the program. We are proud to establish this gift to celebrate 25 years together.” –  Antal Runneboom (MBA’98), member of Georgetown McDonough’s MBA Alumni Advisory Council

The Impact of Class Scholarships

Voices of Scholarship Recipients

I began my career in recruitment consulting, but when the pandemic hit, I felt called to work alongside healthcare workers…While working in the hospital, I decided to pursue an MBA to develop the leadership and strategy skills necessary to drive innovation in healthcare. The merit scholarship to the McDonough School of Business eased the financial burden of attending. I can prioritize building a career in healthcare for impact, and not simply for financial returns.” – Addena Kamra (MBA’26)

“I am incredibly grateful to be the recipient of the GUMBA Class of 1998 Endowed Scholarship Fund. After the initial excitement of being accepted, I soon found myself spiraling, overwhelmed by the financial reality of this decision. This scholarship alleviated so much of that stress and gave me the breathing room I needed to focus on what truly mattered: my education. Receiving a scholarship from Georgetown meant so much more than just being accepted—it was a clear signal that others believed in me and my potential. Your support has helped bring one more woman into the distinguished group of McDonough alumni, further diversifying our talent pool.” –Angelina Mosher Salazar (MBA’26)
