Graduate School of Business
Message From the Dean
Jowett Cecilio F Magsaysay, PhD
Dean, Ateneo Graduate School of Business
To our new students, welcome to the Ateneo Graduate School of Business!
You’re entering your MBA life at a crucial time. The forces of change have been swirling around us for years – the clamor for social and economic change, the disruptions caused by technology advancement, the multiple demands on the corporation to value all stakeholders. This has heightened the need for an updated set of management and leadership skills.
Your AGSB program has been designed to provide you with these skills. More than that, as AGSB is a Jesuit learning institution, Ignatian values are at the heart of your education – where service, integrity, and expertise are bound together.
Congratulations on your decision to make the best investment you could make – an investment in yourself, from which you could reap rewards throughout your career.
Good luck on your studies, and as we say in the Ateneo, know that everything you will be doing in your MBA life is Ad Majorem Dei Gloriam – those who will see you do your best, who will see you excel as a professional for others, will see God’s glory.
