Testimonial One of my proudest achievements at GBS is being part of the Admissions department's growth and improvement. Over the past three years, I've seen the team expand from 30 to 90 employees. Being involved in shaping processes and ensuring admissions are robust and high-quality has been incredibly rewarding. It’s exciting to see how much we’ve accomplished as a team and how far we’ve come. — Barbara Vargas (Professional Services Employee) #J-18808-Ljbffr
