Sofya Galich
BBA student

Going into my fourth year at the Bloch School, I'm glad I’m here. The Bloch School offered me a chance to get involved and become a part of the community. As a freshman, the small class sizes allowed me to make friends and work with them in other classes, to get to know and build connections with professors, and become involved directly with the school through clubs and organizations.
