Maverick Magazine Fall 2022: Future Business Leaders Prepare for a Global Market

This is the personal credo of Mahmud “Wazi” Wazihullah — director of the Mercy College Business Honors Program — and one that he hopes Business Honors students learn to live by as well.

The Business Honors Program is a rigorous, four-year program that prepares undergraduate students for successful careers in business. Professors with extensive corporate experience — many of whom are former Fortune 500 executives — facilitate experiential learning and provide personalized mentoring. Business Honors students must demonstrate strong academic performance, leadership skills, motivation and passion for business to be accepted into the highly selective program.

When Wazi took on the role of director of the Business Honors Program last fall, one of his priorities was to recruit more international students — with a goal of 20% of the students each year coming from outside the United States. The 2022-23 Business Honors freshman class met that goal, welcoming students from countries including Norway, Denmark, Chile and Albania.
