Gregory Wright, a 2011 graduate of LeBow College's Executive MBA program, was recently named superintendent of Bristol Borough School District.
“Traditionally, if you wanted to be a superintendent, you got a doctorate degree, but I decided to get an MBA instead and I feel very confident that what I got out of that experience is going to make me a much better superintendent,” Wright says. “I think a business degree is valuable to a superintendent. In addition to everything else about finances, there is also a lot of leadership training involved in getting an MBA. It’s really an all-encompassing kind of educational experience.”
