Teyonna Jarman, MBA '26, was invited to deliver the keynote student speech at the Tepper School of Business 2026 Welcome Weekend, an exclusive event where admitted masters students experience firsthand what life as a Tepper School MBA student truly looks like.

In this powerful excerpt, Teyonna reflects on the community she built, the opportunities she seized, and what it means to fully steward the gift of an MBA. Her words on stewardship, presence, and community left the room speechless, and we think they'll resonate with you too.
