Meet Maxwell

“At Katz, I found more than just a business school—I found a community. Pitt has a strong sense of belonging, where people look out for each other and build meaningful connections. Plus, being in Pittsburgh—a top city for young professionals—made my decision even easier.

Katz’s hands-on learning approach has been a game-changer. Through case studies, real-world projects, and professor feedback, I’ve learned how to think strategically and creatively. The business competitions, fellowships, and networking events have helped me apply classroom knowledge in real-world settings and connect with industry leaders.

There’s a lot of support here, and so many ways to grow. I know I’m walking away with real skills and great connections that will help me in my career.”

– Maxwell Liu (MS Marketing Science + Business Analytics, ’24)
