"Five of my kids are half-Georgians from Albany. When Angela first
contacted me, asking for my support, my answer was a yes... simply
because I thought it would make my kids proud,” says Ghazaleh,
whose firm has been featured on an episode of ‘No Reservations’ with
Anthony Bourdain. “Then I became so impressed with the level of
commitment, professionalism and knowledge Angela had for this
project. Her knowledge about ALBAIK impressed me, and the support
she had from Professor Leon Prieto was remarkable. She is a future

BUSINESS. MADE REAL.
Our 20 month, fast-track AACSB Accredited MBA
program is ranked in the top ten by the Atlanta
Business Chronicle and offers evening and
weekend courses to suit the working profes-
sional of today. With concentrations in Account-
ing, International Business, Supply Chain Man-
agement, Human Resource Leadership, and
Sports & Entertainment Management, our gradu-
ates are sought by the region’s leading busi-
nesses
leader that I know Clayton State will be very proud of. I
wish her and her classmates the best of luck always."
Another MBA program member whose dream was made
real is Brandi Luongo, an MBA (Supply Chain) student
from Newnan, Ga.
“I am more than halfway into the MBA program and I have
completed a number of successful group projects,” she
says. “My most recent project was by far the most reward-
ing. In analyzing Yoshinoya, I was able to work directly
with the CEO of Yoshinoya America, Dar Vasseghi. He did
not hesitate to take time out of his busy schedule to offer
his input, which helped our group to get a better under-
standing of the company as a whole. It was an honor to be
able to work with Mr. Vasseghi and it is an experience I will
carry with me as I progress through my remaining time in
the MBA program and into my career.”
"I applaud Brandi and her team for reaching out,”
comments Vasseghi. “Closing the gap between academ-
ics and the corporate world early on is just smart. I'm
surprised, again and again, how relevant my own
business school -- Stanford University -- experience has
been in my work. The foundational tools and models
become second nature to the decision-making process.
Without them, variables like opinion, emotion, context and
partial data will take over the process and lead you down
the wrong road. Here's my two cents to any business
school student; immerse yourself in the experience - take
chances, do everything! Take classes in a variety of
functions. Make a lot of friends and go out of your way to
stay close to as many of them as you can - they will make
your life richer.”
Not surprisingly, Prieto was thrilled with the partnerships.
“Through Clayton State’s MBA program, dreams are
definitely made real because of the experiential learning
that occurs in the classroom that links theory to practice,”
he explains. “I am proud of the fact that my students are
working with top level executives in international firms and
offering their analysis on a variety of issues related to
global expansion and logistics. They are well poised to
become global leaders.”
