Every year, his class “Media & Communication Industries” (CMGB 7500-001) is filled with a diverse mix of students who are exposed to the wisdom of MBA graduates who have been in the business world. This year, Dennis had an illustrious line up of professionals including David Lieberman from USA Today, Steven Levy from Newsweek, Sean Duggen from MySpace, Michael Joseloff from MTV and many more. These individuals, many of whom are alumni, gave wonderful talks on their organization, their industry focus, and what it means to work in media.
