Knowledge comes from inspiration.

"Normal" life has indeed resumed again. Having completed almost half a year in business school, it has definitely become an integral part of regular life style, with routines established and friendships maturing. This term is looking really good, as we have two immensely gifted and experienced professors in Economics (Lois Gosse) and Operations (David Juran). Each professor teaches their respective and fundamentally diverse subjects in two drastically distinct styles, leading to a unique classroom environment for each course.

In this related context, I like to reflect on an optional yet critical component of a prospective student's EMBA program selection process - attending a class visit. Attending a class session will help you assess if the learning style and also the program's teaching culture, will impart inspirations that can be leveraged for a lifetime. You definitely need to feel inspired by the education you receive - personally for me it was and continues to be a significant factor in the webs of student life, here at the Johnson school.

For those of you who are celebrating, Happy Chinese New Year - Gung Hay Fat Choy! This is the year of the rat and for many, today sets the tone for the rest of the year. So like to use this opportunity to wish plenty of good luck to the incoming/prospective 2010 students.

I can't wait to see you on the other side !
