Opinions

• James J. Schiro, former CEO PricewaterhouseCoopers
  
  
• The global perspective, knowledge, and
  enthusiasm students demonstrated are evidence of
  an exceptional curriculum and first-rate
  instructors. St.Gallens programs to promote
  student interaction with business and political
  leaders are outstanding, and, based on my own
  experience, I can say that they are at least as
  invigorating for guests as they are for
  students.
