Tapping into His Global Partners MBA
 Ricardo Hubler is director of International Trade Development for the
Metro Atlanta Chamber of Commerce, a position that grew directly
out of his internship as a Global Partners MBA student at the Robinson
College. Global Partners is an intensive, 14-month program of
global commerce, which immersed Hubler in the business, culture,
and the life of Atlanta, Rio, Paris, and cities in China. Along the way,
in addition to valuable networking connections and on-the-ground
business knowledge, he also picked up practical skills like how to
shop for groceries and get a haircut in a foreign country. “I tap into my
degree every day,” says Hubler about his work with the Chamber,
where he’s been instrumental in helping Delta Air Lines establish a
Shanghai route and in recruiting several international companies to
set up shop in Georgia.

Carrie Sloan used to describe herself as “nontraditional and the least
likely person to attend business school.” But today, this somewhat
bohemian biologist turned MBA student is energized by “business’s
ability to influence change,” something she encountered firsthand
through a Bi-National Business Grant from the Fulbright Scholarship
Program. After earning the highly competitive award, Carrie spent
10 months attending classes and working in Mexico for New Ventures,
an initiative of the World Resources Institute that works to promote
sustainable growth in emerging markets. While working with government
organizations and multinational corporations on corporate environmental
sustainability, Carrie found her niche. As an environmentalist,
she believes it is our responsibility to protect the environment. But as
a realist and a business student, Carrie understands the need to
protect the bottom line. “I’m just glad I have the opportunity to
achieve both,” she said. Carrie will graduate from Robinson this
May and hopes to pursue a career in corporate sustainability.
