I am thankful that I had the opportunity to pursue my PhD at Michigan in the MO group. The environment among faculty and students is collaborative and developmental; students are pushed to do their best work amid a supportive network of scholars. Outside of the breadth of the department, my experience was truly interdisciplinary, taking courses in psychology, political science, strategy, and management, and having regular interaction with faculty across the university through ICOS. This broad exposure pushed me to incorporate different perspectives into my own research and to think more holistically about the implications of my findings. Even after physically leaving Ann Arbor, the Michigan community continues to support one another in tacking important organizational puzzles.
