Bard MBA Student, BPI Alumna Stacy Burnett ’20 MBA ’23 Wins Mid-Hudson Business Plan Competition, Three Other Bard Teams Compete
“Stacy Burnett has a powerful idea to shake up the big-business of prison re-entry: hire formerly incarcerated people to mentor folks who are newly released,” writes Katie Boyle MS ’07, director of enrollment and marketing for Bard’s MBA in Sustainability, on the Lead the Change blog. Burnett, a current MBA student and alumna of the Bard Prison Initiative, pitched the idea at the Mid-Hudson Valley Regional Business Plan Competition alongside her business partner Charlene Reyes. The idea, which Burnett and Reyes developed when they were both students in the Bard Prison Initiative, won first place in the Learn, Work, and Play category. Also competing were three undergraduate Bard teams led by current students Sabina Chiva ’25, Nathan Cho ’24, Abby Frazier ’23, Khadija Ghanizada ’23, Alua Samat ’25, and Clayton Webb ’23.
