As we start to think ahead to the MBA Fair season, I wanted to introduce you to the new face of our admissions team who will be making the rounds at many of the MBA Fairs come fall.
Jenni Denniston is our new Manager, MBA Recruiting & Admissions and an Ivey HBA grad. After graduating in 2004, Jenni stayed at Ivey for two years working as a Business 020 instructor, building strong relationships with both Ivey staff and faculty before deciding to pursue her MBA at the International School of Monaco. Jenni completed her MBA in 2007 and stayed in Monaco working for an entrepreneurial start-up company.
When she expressed an interest to come back to London and Ivey, we jumped at the chance to get Jenni on board, and she happily accepted the position of Manager, MBA Recruiting & Admissions. When I asked what made her want to return to Ivey from the beautiful shores of the French Riviera, Jenni said: “I’m an Ivey girl at heart, and after having had international experience both academically and professionally, I saw returning to Ivey as an opportunity to help the school grow on the international stage.” (And as an Ivey grad myself, I understand exactly what she means!)
In her role, Jenni will connect with many of our current and prospective applicants, supporting them in their MBA decision through the application phase to offer acceptance. She will represent Ivey at many of our national and international MBA Fairs and events, including First Class on the Road and Women in Management panels.
What is the one piece of advice Jenni would give our prospective applicants? “The MBA is an investment in yourself. Be ready, willing and able to put everything you have into it.” Her knowledge and enthusiasm for Ivey combined with her positive attitude and business experience make Jenni a fantastic addition to our team.
We hope you will take the opportunity to connect with Jenni and that you have the chance to meet her in person at one of the MBA Fairs in the 2008-2009 season. If you have any questions about the application process, please feel free to contact Jenni directly at jdenniston@ivey.ca.
Welcome to the Ivey team, Jenni!
