2024 Best & Brightest MBA: Jeff S. McClellan, Columbia Business School

"While advising formerly incarcerated people in Justice Through Code on career development plans, I humbly witnessed their resilience and determination to rebuild their lives. [...In] Startup Works, I consulted justice-impacted entrepreneurs, sharing insights and best practices in business. These experiences reinforced my commitment to social responsibility, contributing to a more equitable world while practicing my belief in the power of education and community support for positive change," says Jeff S. McClellan '24, on how he's most proud of his involvement in our ReEntry Acceleration Program (REAP), particularly in the Justice Through Code (JTC) and Startup Works initiatives during his time at CBS.
