See below for interviews from MSBA student Price McGinnis and Assistant Professor Charles Liu providing interesting perspectives on ensuring success in the virtual environment and how they are adapting to this new reality.

Prince McGinnis

What made you decide to get your MSBA at UTK after undergrad, rather than going on the job market – or come back if you did work after undergrad?

I decided to come back to school to refine my technical skills in order to complement my soft skills. I had always enjoyed looking at data and statistics and felt like having a master’s degree would make me more marketable in the job market. I chose UTK in particular because of its proximity to my family, MSBA program prestige, and rave reviews from my brother-in-law and undergraduate advisor who praised the MSBA program.

Charles Liu

Do you have any interesting updates on how you are adapting to this new reality (personally or professionally)?

It's hard for me to stay focused and concentrated and get stuff done at home. I have tried by deleting some distracting apps on my phone, such as email and WeChat. When I need some distraction, I try my kindle. I am reading Harry Potter, and found it so fun -- I never read it before.
