A look back: An MBA with an understanding of real-life business situations
In the May 2, 2005, issue of Mainebiz, one story that jumps out is a profile of Ramat Oyetunji, who earned an MBA and an undergraduate degree in mechanical engineering from the University of Maine. While in the MBA program, she worked full-time as project engineer at Georgia Pacific. “Because I’ve done quite a number of internships and because I’m working, I can understand some of the real-life situations that the textbooks are talking about,” she said in a first-person piece in Mainebiz. A UMaine alumni profile in 2016, said she went onto work at Procter & Gamble before leaving to start a financial advisory and to write a book, “Fifty Shades of Green: A Stock Market Guide for the Financially Independent-minded Woman.” Alas, as much as Maine needs people with her training and leadership, she has since moved to Pennsylvania.
Fun Fact: Amid the blitz of flip phones advertising in a 2005 issue of Mainebiz, there was a report on a failed plan to tax kayaks in Maine. On one hand, there are a lot of them, so the state Legislature might have been onto something. But, as Mainebiz reported in its April 4 “Credits & Debits” column, it was “good to see common sense prevailing in Augusta.”
