Oluwaseyi Atoyebi Fuqua School of Business, Duke University

I am a first-year MBA student at Yale SOM and a Dean's Scholar. Prior to Yale, I worked at ExxonMobil and Ernst & Young (EY), with a combined experience of 7+ years. L54 is very passionate about seeing people succeed and reach their full potential. It played a role in helping me get to this next level of my growth. Specifically, the company moderated sessions to help me fully understand the context of the MBA, how to make choices regarding which school to pick, and the need to pass down the ladder to continue to inspire people. Across the board, new admits like myself agree that L54 is pivotal to instilling the idea of 'ubuntu,' which means "I am what I am because of who we all are." This keeps us grounded and reminds us that in all we do, we must consider the larger consequences of our actions and continuously walk the paths that have the highest value for everyone. With L54's help, I better understood the US MBA landscape, and this has served me well in my time at Yale SOM.
