| Putnam Coes '94 |
"Yale SOM was an inflection point in my life and career – a place where I was able to revel in rich intellectual challenge and the possibilities for effecting positive change through professional management. Exposure to the total environment of Yale SOM, especially the brilliant crew of classmates and professors I had, gave me a starting point to define the course of my career and, hopefully, my contribution to the organizations, people, and events around me."
