It’s (half-way) Over!

May 14, 2010 3:23 pm 0 comments

This time of year, it’s easy to stumble upon college students at any level writing about how they can’t believe the semester is over.  Add me to the cliche clique.  These past nine months have flown by.  It’s been a non-stop ride, but I’ve learned a lot and met a bunch of great people.  I’ve built a financial model for a real estate deal, put together a marketing project for an NBA team and been a part of about nine groups.  It’s been awesome.

As the air creeps across , my classmates are fanning out across the country for .  It’s a little sad to see us all leave the nest, but a good bit of non-natives are staying here in , which surprises me.  I’ve got a few options, and my summer plans aren’t set.  I know if I stay or go – any internship will be a great chance to put our Tulane skills to work.

A year ago, I was preparing to move to New Orleans to start the Freeman School’s summer program.  I had been out of school for a few years, and my math background was not strong.  If you fit that category – I’d definitely come to Tulane early.  Not only do you get a head-start at meeting your new classmates, but the statistics and accounting help goes a long way once school gears up in August.  If you have any questions about the summer program, ask away.  Also – throughout the summer we’ll have guest bloggers tell us about what they’re doing this summer.

    Mardi Gras, Greece, and the End of 1st Year

    I think it is called business school because we are constantly busy! Since my last blog, Mardi Gras season wrapped up, we traveled to Greece (and more), we completed our first Global leadership module and came back to numerous New Orleans festivals and fun. There are never enough hours in the day to get everything done. Mardi Gras was very fun. It was my second Mardi Gras since I came my last year of college in undergrad, but it is [...]

    Mastering Global Management

    I started my first Master of Global Management module in December, an intensive 5 days of 10 hours of class.  The way the program works is it combines Tulane students with MBA students from other countries, including Venezuela, Colombia, Mexico and Guatemala.  Across 6 modules over the two years, we all meet together for intensive classes that rotate to different countries.  The last module was in New Orleans, and I was joined by a diverse group of students, most of [...]

    Student Profile: Ned Rider

    I grew up in Manakin-Sabot, Virginia and attended Collegiate School in Richmond. I attended Washington and Lee University where I majored in history and was a member of the varsity lacrosse team.

While I loved the St. Christopher’s community and my job, I always wondered about the business side of academia. I also wanted to know more about the eco-system of [...]

  • Experience Global Chinese New Year

    Chinese New Year

    A Chinese first year MBA attends the Tulane Chinese New Year Party. One of the best things at Tulane is the international environment. Tulane is a small international society.

I have classes with students from the U.S., China, India, Germany, France, Mexico, Argentina, Colombia, Peru, and Venezuela etc. We will visit Latin America, Europe, and China during the program to learn more about local business environment and how to [...]

  • Experience New Orleans Leap Day in the Bywater

    Leap Day in the Bywater

    On Leap Day I decided to take advantage of the extra 24 hours and the beautiful weather (it was 76 degrees and sunny), and head to one of my favorite parts of town: The Bywater. Most people that visit town don’t know about this little gem of a community, but it packs a ton of character into a few blocks. I didn’t get a good picture of dinner, but we finished off the trek with a hot plate from The Joint.  [...]
