<pre><code>The long term volunteers on this board are not “just moms” as one student guessed. A sense of humor is a definite requirement. One is a CEO of a Fortune 500 Company, another is a professor at a major research university, a famous screenwriter, an experienced political campaign staffer, a former actress who is from a well known entertainment family and others with varied accomplishments.
For individuals in sunny California who may be heading a major company, doing important research or writing a screenplay it may not be important to know which business school has more students who wish to be hedge fund managers. Los Angeles is a major center for the entertainment industry, aerospace, technology, pharmaceuticals and finance. SC draws students from all parts of the nation and abroad. If you read the sample of Marshall graduates you can see they hold prominent positions both in California and beyond.
I suggest you visit the Marshall site, look at the Marshall list of alumni clubs, Marshall representatives and Marshall networking. You will see the Trojan family spans the globe, particularly in the Pacific Rim.
Marshall graduates have found it is not always necessary to have a career on Wall Street to be financially successful.
