Amy Dehmer, MBA'23, Business Architect & Managing Consultant at DMI My team and I worked to evolve the Athens Olympic legacy, studying global communications and Greek culture. We returned to the US with a genuine appreciation for Greece—its journey as a culture and its Olympic history. I am forever grateful to Kelley for making this life-changing, extraordinary opportunity a reality.
