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 […]

I know, no Thursday Night Social this week. James is no longer the social chair. The first year MBA’s had their class elections recently and all organizational control is slowly switching over.
One of my friends sent me an update about the French Quarter Festival happening this weekend. Below is a rundown of […]

I’m off! Sitting at LAX waiting for the Air China desk to open so I can check in. Sat next to a fellow Tulane student from MSY-LAX, on the way home for spring break. When I asked why she picked Tulane over other Cal schools she replied, “I just wanted to try […]

A friend of mine sent along this video discussing the influx of young people into the city wanting to help with the rebuilding efforts. The clip mentions The Idea Village, which has a few Freeman alums working there. Lots of opportunities to get involved with Village - I worked on a consulting project […]

I snapped this shot late last week. There were a bunch of buildings covered head to toe for the all star game. The game was a great success for the city - no drama like last year in Vegas. Too bad the Donkeys and Elephants both eschewed the chance to have a […]
