Dean's Forum:

The myth that summers are slow for academic institutions was thoroughly disproved at the Graduate School as we busily prepared for this new academic year. I would like to thank everyone at the School for the dedication I’ve seen over the past two years. You have all shown a commitment to the strategic plans we have laid forth, and I am happy to say that we are moving forward – achieving our goals and identifying new ones.

wwn update
 

For those of you who may not have heard, the Graduate School of Business has started an alumni networking group out of the Dean’s Office. This organization – called the World Wise Network, or WWN – has already helped reconnect hundreds of alumni in the past six months. In April, Dean Tuckman hosted the first WWN Alumni Networking Reception, which was held at the Princeton Club. Nearly 100 Graduate School of Business alumni and their guests were in attendance.
