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 [...]

After graduation, I moved back to Richmond and taught and coached in the Upper School at St. Christopher’s School. 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 [...]

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 strongly feel the combination of different cultures around the world. 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 [...]

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. [...]

Kickball tournament
The Graduate Business Council is dedicated to enhancing all aspects of life as a graduate business student here at Tulane. School socials have ranged from a Halloween party to bowling and dancing at Rock-N-Bowl. This past Saturday, we got out and played some kickball at Monroe Quad. We had MBAs, MFINS, and MACCT students come together to let loose, eat some pizza, and play ball! It was a little chilly out, but we weathered the temperature with some adult beverages. [...]
