EMBA students enter the program and graduate with the same classmates, forming valuable lifelong networks. We were joined by Edward Lunney, Flagship General Manager, Dr. H. Gin Chong, Professor of Accounting at Prairie View A&M University, and Xhana Ogletree, who entered the EMBA program at Prairie View A&M University in August 2014.
