People & Organization Manager, Mars, Inc.
Like many of her classmates, Gealita Greenhill knew that Owen was the right spot for her after her visit on Discover Weekend. Right away, she says, "I felt that my ideas and aspirations mattered to everyone I encountered," and that faculty and staff took pains to pair her with those "who could provide the best insight and advice moving forward."
In particular, Gealita was impressed with the way Owen empowers students to help set the school's direction–and even before starting classes she began to envision how she could make an impact. She became part of four student organizations, serving as an officer in two. Later, she served as a leadership coach for Owen's Leadership Development Program–an effort that sharpened her own skills.
The combination of empowerment and a well-rounded business education left Gealita feeling prepared for anything. "Now," she says, "I feel equipped with the knowledge and confidence to take risks, lead change and impact the bottom line of an organization."
Gealita is now making her mark as an organizational development manager at Mars Inc., the world-renowned candy, food and pet food company.
