Philip found professors at Goizueta who were great mentors, giving career advice and allowing him to trade ideas with them. The role of business school faculty, as he sees it, is to make classroom learning relevant to real work. MBA students are trying to improve their professional prospects and the best professors can concretely show students how to create value for themselves and potential employers.
