How long can Linda stay in the program?

Would Linda possibly come back in 2024 class?

Andy Nguyen · 7/22/24

I don't foresee any scenario where Linda will come back and run the UCB MFE program full-time. She has done so since 2002 and now moved to other endeavors in her life. The directors of that generation have retired, mostly.
Dan Stefanica of Baruch MFE is now the longest serving director since the program's inception in 2002.
As much as we recognize the outside role Linda played in the UCB MFE program, it's time we accept that she is not coming back and the program already has a new executive director. Her name is Fiona Taft.

Nothing more than what her LinkedIn profile can provide. They have online admission chat frequently so I would recommend that you use it to learn more about the program.

Fiona is no longer with the UCB MFE program.

Geez, this program is having serious turnover.

UCB has already started to garner poor reviews. I wonder what the program will look like five years from now.
