Humans of MBS

ASHANI RATNAYAKE – Master of Management

What I appreciate about the MBS, is just how many opportunities are available for students to learn outside the four walls of the classroom. During my time here, I participated in the MBS Case Competition and was also the MBS Student Ambassador. Both these experiences helped me enrich my student life on campus. As an MBS Student Ambassador, I got a chance to speak on multiple discussion panels and write for the student blog and above all meet a vibrant and diverse community of exemplary students.
