MBA Admissions Transition

After five years as the Assistant Dean of MBA Admissions & Financial Aid, Kirsten Moss will step down from her position at the end of 2022. Kirsten has a life-long passion for leadership development and intends to focus her next phase in that area. Kirsten inspired prospects and admitted students, and her keen insights into leadership development made her a wonderful team leader and contributor across the school. The list of accomplishments by Kirsten and her team is long. She led an initiative to redesign our financial aid process, involving faculty, staff, students, and alumni, ensuring that students regardless of their financial situation can attend the GSB. Under her leadership, the GSB attracted stellar classes, with substantial increases in the share of women, veterans, international, and first-generation students. Kirsten leaves GSB Admissions and Financial Aid in a remarkably strong position, with an outstanding team to carry forward the work of the school. Stanford Graduate School of Business will shortly launch a global search process to find her successor.
