Monitronics CEO To Deliver Commencement Address To The College Of William & Mary Executive MBA Program's 30th Graduating Class

DALLAS, Sept. 9, 2016

"The EMBA Program was a life-changing experience and helped me become the person and leader I am today," said Jeff Gardner, CEO of Monitronics. "I am honored to speak at the 30^th graduation ceremony and to share my experiences with the graduating class. I look forward to hearing from this special class and other graduates about what the program has meant to them."

The Executive MBA Program at The College of William & Mary's Raymond A. Mason School of Business is a 19-month program for working professionals that meets two weekends per month in Williamsburg, Virginia and includes two global immersions. These global immersion residencies offer first-hand experience in the opportunities and demands of today's global economy and have included trips to China, Brazil, South Africa, Chile, Greece and Spain. The Program's faculty are consistently ranked among the top five in the nation by The Princeton Review and opportunities abound to develop lasting relationships with faculty and fellow students.

Jeff Gardner is a personal supporter of the EMBA Program, and has made a large donation to support the EMBA Chair Endowment Fund and is committed to matching, dollar for dollar, all gifts to the Fund.

All events celebrating the Program's 30^th anniversary and 30^th graduating class, including Gardner's commencement address, will be held on campus in Miller Hall. For more information, visit http://mason.wm.edu/programs/emba/index.php.
