#8: Global Leadership was awesome!
Before business school, I’d been to fewer than five countries, and knew next to nothing about how international business was transacted, other than what I’d read or experienced through the eyes of others. Not so now: I went to 9 countries in 2 my two years at Freeman! This […]

I know my posting has been light (super light) recently. I have three classes but I’m finding myself busier than ever:
This week I’m prepping for the Tulane Business Plan Competition. Top prize is 10 grand / 4 team members = a non IRS declarative 2500 bucks for me! Even third prize would […]

Whew. I’m back. Jet lag done, class done (really, I have about 2 classes) and graduation on the horizon. This is also tulaneMBA’s 400th post! A lot’s changed in the two years since this blog got started: Freeman’s rankings have continued to improve, New Orleans’ image has also improved (much […]

On the plane back to MSY last night I came across this NYT article discussing the […]

I received the following from a colleague:
