ALUM
Manik Aryapadi graduated from the Northwestern MEM program in 2010. He is originally from Hyderabad, India, but later moved to the United States, where he attended Texas A&M University, earning his Bachelor's degree in Electrical Engineering. Manik's interests are quite varied. He loves volunteering to work with animals, Spanish cuisine at Café Iberico, and is secretly a talented karaoke singer!
Manik chose the MEM program for its ability to help him hone his business skills while also continuing to develop his technical expertise and build upon his existing four years of engineering experience.
We asked Manik about his MEM experience at Northwestern. Read what he had to say on our blog.
