Welcome to the new week! Let’s check in on the latest in MBA news, which this week includes several interesting video shorts.
First, the Haas School at UC-Berkeley is the subject of a video clip now up on YouTube. The piece is an overview of Haas and was filmed as part of an introduction to the PBS CEO Exchange earlier this year. The PBS special featured a discussion between Intel CEO Paul Otellini, a Berkeley MBA alumnus, and two fellow technology CEOs. The piece on Haas is hosted by a current student, so be sure to check out the video to get a sense of some of the highlights of Haas’s program.
In other multimedia news, Wharton Follies videos are now up on the web, making it possible for anyone who didn’t get a chance to see the sold out shows to join in on the fun. Highlights include sketches reminiscent of the Mac/PC commercials, in which a first-year student and a second-year student discuss grade non-disclosure, learning teams, and social life. Viewers can find other sketches by searching for Wharton Follies 2007.
Finally, and on a different note, the Chicago GSB Dean’s Student Committee blog recently posted a great entry on balancing motherhood and the MBA. Although some of the information is specific to the Chicago GSB community, the post is a great read for any parent considering applying to business school. The entry presents current students’ views on issues of child care, student activities involvement, recruiting, and whether the return to school is a good step for both parent and child – obviously issues of significant concern to both mothers and fathers thinking about pursuing an MBA.
Be sure to check back throughout the week for more news and stories from the MBA world!
