Creating Success in Civilian Employment

Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business is pleased to announce the creation of a Military and Veteran student organization. Katz Military and Veterans Association, or KMVA, serves to support American and foreign veterans, as well as active duty and reserve service members.

The mission statement of KMVA is to help military/veteran students and alumni succeed in civilian employment and transition. We do this through three focus areas: provide application support to prospective military/veteran students; provide career search support to current Katz military/veteran students; provide an extensive networking resource to current Katz military/veteran students and Katz alumni.

Interested prospective MBA students, including two year, one year, and Executive MBA candidates, are encouraged to contact the organization at KatzVets@Pitt.edu for additional information. Additionally, please join our LinkedIn groups to stay up to date with events and information. We thank you for your service and we look forward to providing you support.

Building Community for Military & Veteran Students

The Joseph M. Katz Graduate School of Business is proud to support its community of military-affiliated students through the Katz Military and Veterans Club (KMVC). This organization is dedicated to fostering connection, camaraderie, and professional development among veterans and active-duty service members enrolled in School of Business master’s programs. 

KMVC provides a welcoming space for students to share experiences, build networks, and access resources that enhance their academic and leadership journey. Through events and peer support, the club cultivates a connected community and helps military-affiliated students thrive during their time at the School of Business. 

For more information or to get involved, please contact Katie Bennett, Associate Director for Student Engagement, at KatieBennett@pitt.edu

STUDENT SPOTLIGHT

The best part of my Pitt Business experience was the relationships I made during my time as an MBA student at Katz. Many thanks to Dean Assad for enabling me to pursue my passions through the various electives, clubs, and workshops

There was a great spirit of cooperation and camaraderie amongst my fellow students. I keep in touch with a number of my fellow Katz classmates to this day and we all agree that our time at Katz had a significant impact on our lives and careers.
