PRINCE GEORGE – Reuben Mann will be receiving a Master of Business Administration degree from UNBC on May 26. Mann is currently the head of marketing for Kelowna-based aerospace company SKYTRAC and believes the MBA has helped him take a step forward in his career.

“I hadn’t really received the theory and the application of what the business environment really is like. So it was always a big question mark to me, ‘what am I missing that I didn’t learn in undergraduate?’ So that’s why I decided to take the MBA program,” he explained.

Mann took the first year of his undergraduate degree at UNBC in 2011, before graduating from UBC in 2016. He now hopes to apply his new knowledge and experience on his current job, but also give it back to the community.

“I believe it is our responsibility as members of society to use our talents and resources to make a positive impact where we can,” he said.

As for feature students, Mann left a message and piece of advice for those who want to take a similar path in their careers.

“Don’t let your current situation or geography limit what you can do in the world because you can make a global impact from anywhere today. We can make an impact no matter where we are based.”
