The Indiana Kelley Master of Science in Management (MSM) Class of 2026 is a tight-knit, highly motivated cohort that proves there’s no single “right” path into business, just a shared drive to grow, contribute, and translate diverse backgrounds into impact. Get to know a handful of new members of the MSM class in this Real Humans.
For Alexis Stanton, a Public Relations major from Orlando, the MSM was the natural next step after she fell in love with marketing during internships at The Frick Collection and K2 Medical Research. She arrived at Kelley wanting to pair her creative storytelling and consumer-psychology instincts with stronger analytical and strategic skills, and the MSM program offered exactly that blend. Then, Camille Kuru, who attended Indiana Kelley for undergrad, returns to her alma mater with the goal of heading back into retail in the short term and healthcare administration in the long term. Coming from a Neuroscience degree at IU Bloomington, Carson Woods chose to stay in Bloomington to leverage the familiarity of the environment and focus fully on learning and connection. Now, he’s aiming for roles in life sciences or healthcare consulting, pharma operations, or supply chain—spaces where his attention to detail and problem-solving mindset can shine.
An international student from Winchester in the UK, Max Sennett chose Kelley for its blend of leadership and strategy-focused curriculum, collaborative culture, and hands-on projects that go beyond theory. He hopes to build a career in business development and strategy within a multinational firm, helping organizations navigate cross-border growth between Europe and the U.S. Originally from Israel and now based in Cincinnati, Roy Riezman came to Kelley with an entrepreneurial and global résumé: international expansion consulting, private equity, and roles in cybersecurity and AI-driven startups. Aspiring to strategy consulting or venture capital, he saw the MSM program as the ideal mix of finance, entrepreneurship, and real-world consulting experience.
Together, these Kelley MSM Class of 2026 students underscore what makes the program distinctive: small-cohort intimacy, professors who truly invest in students’ success, and a community where creatives, scientists, internationals, and aspiring strategists all learn side-by-side.
