Andrea Burdman
Events Manager
I am the events and recruitment manager for the MBA Programs Office. I get to know students through the admission process, and I plan all of our networking and fun social events. Students come to see me regarding questions about the GMAT/GRE prep courses, admission process and upcoming events, or if they just simply need a joke or a smile.

Denise Cason
Assistant Director, Admissions
I work closely with our Full-Time and Evening Cohort candidates during the admissions process, answering all questions regarding requirements and the process. I enjoy developing relationships with all of our candidates and getting to know them personally. I look forward to getting to know you and your future MBA goals.

Kristan Davis
Full-Time MBA Career Consultant
I have the privilege of working with the Full-Time MBA Cohort on all things career. This includes providing direction on career pivots/pathing as well as training and coaching on networking, interviewing, résumés, LinkedIn and branding. My corporate experience in marketing, operations and project management enables me to draw upon a rich perspective as I work with each unique MBA student. My goal is to help you reach your goals!

Joanna Fowler
Director, Admissions and Operations
I manage the operations of the MBA Programs Office, including marketing, recruiting, admissions, student services, and alumni relations. This allows me to work with students throughout their journey, which I love. Students visit with me for a variety of reasons — to express interest in the program, ask about electives, get a pep talk — or simply life and career advice. I look forward to getting to know you!

Kimberly Hall
Student Services Coordinator
I work as a student services advisor for the MBA Programs Office. I get to know students at the start of their MBA journey, when we meet to look over their degree plans, register for courses and discuss general program policies. I meet with students regularly throughout their programs. I am always available for students to stop in with questions or if they just want to say a quick hi before running to class.

Fiona Hunter
Associate Director, Career Management Center
As associate director, I primarily prepare Professional MBA students for their job search and connect with MBA recruiters and companies who value exceptional talent. I am honored to work with such well-respected and nationally ranked programs. Whether the goal is your next “dream” job, success in your current job or developing skills to position you for the next step in your career, a clear vision and strategy are the first steps to developing a compelling personal brand. Please contact me when you are ready to launch your career to the next level.

Ashley Prince
Administrative Assistant
I provide administrative support to the MBA Programs Office through the management of financials, alumni database, case competitions, our Power of Two Mentor Program and other projects. I have worked in higher education for 10 years and love helping students make the most of their academic experience. Come visit me when you need help booking a classroom, making an appointment or just catching up on life. Let me know how I can support you in this journey!

Lisa Shatz
Assistant Dean
Most of my time is spent in developing strategies to move our MBA program forward in quality, in exposure and in rankings. When I’m not in meetings, I like to work directly with students, especially as it pertains to their goals for the future. When I can, I take students on trips to large metro areas where they can visit companies and meet our alumni. I also spend a great amount of time working with alumni and putting together programs to enable them to engage with our students.

Michelle Swensen
Assistant Director, Student Services
I oversee the day-to-day student services needs of the MBA Programs Office. I serve our students in a variety of ways, including helping fast-track students understand the MBA degree plan, helping current MS students add the MBA degree, and with standard MBA student advising. Whether it be a conversation regarding career plan, academic plan or personal life goals, I enjoy shepherding students through to the next phase of their lives.

Jeff Taylor
Admission Coordinator
My primary role is to meet with and help guide prospective candidates — with particular emphasis on the Professional Flex and Professional MBA Online program. I take great pride in helping candidates discover the right program fit for them. I look forward to meeting you soon!
