  • Socioeconomic Inclusion
Growing up in Pittsburgh, PA, Alexis Jackson (MBA 2021) was drawn to challenges and motivated to get a degree in an industry that would bring financial and job security. An aptitude for math and science led to an engineering scholarship to Penn State, a major in electrical engineering, and a position at a multinational oil and gas corporation after graduation.
