Jessi works as a risk analyst for First Data and loves her job! She is also serving as the president of the Houston, TX UGA alumni chapter.

I have been working odd jobs for the past year saving up money. I am applying to MBA programs starting in the fall.

I am currently working as a Senior Operations Analyst in Business Analytics for Aflac.  My degree has afforded me the opportunity to work as an Affirmative Action/EEO Specialist as well as my current position. 

I am the chair of Information Systems and Operations Management but will step down on July 1.

Currently pursuing a joint JD/MBA at Georgia State University.

We are excited to announce the partnership of the University of Georgia Department of Statistics and State Farm through State Farm's Modeling and Analytics Graduate Network (MAGNet) program.  The new program is set to begin this fall and will offer select master's degree students the opportunity to gain real-world experience while completing their degree.
