"The CMA helped me, as a career switcher, move from finance to marketing. Professor Andrews took the time to help me thoroughly evaluate my options to make the best career decisions. I learned a great deal from my peers during the Academy Weeks, where we took trips, listened to experienced speakers, and gained an understanding of the real—world applications. The CMA gave me a broad exposure to the possibilities in consumer marketing—it was a 360º study of the field."

"The CMA project was an excellent 'dress rehearsal' for my internship, because I was able to put the concepts and strategic frameworks to use for the first time before I started working. Through Jonlee and CMA events, I developed a realistic expectation of life as an Associate Brand Manager and eventual Brand Manager, and equally as important, I learned what would be expected of me so I could hit the ground running day one."

"Jonlee Andrews was an amazing mentor to me through my years at Kelley in several ways including connecting with companies in the CPG field, former alums in the field, and providing career coaching and counseling as I strove to get my foothold into the North American CPG industry. She, along with Dean Dan Smith and other marketing faculty were also very inspiring and thought provoking in marketing classes and other academic discussions."
