Testimonials
"The DeVos Graduate School
teaches people to go beyond
getting a job, but providing jobs.
That is one of the most important
things a person can learn to do.
Learning those skills here and
providing new jobs - those are the
kind of people this country and the
world need."
"I have already worked on a project
where we had to develop a fully
integrated business strategy, and
launch a new business model based
on our input. I came to that project
as the attorney, but because of my
DeVos experience, I was able to
contribute a lot more than just the
legal perspective."

"Fieldwork was an important part
of my DeVos experience. The
professional contact with the clients
and the opportunity to solve their
real-world business problems
offered new perspectives and
important experiences to apply to
my career. In my case, fieldwork
also made me think more about
entrepreneurship as an option for
the future."
