If you are a pro-sports fan, Fall is the greatest time of the year! For baseball lovers there’s the World Series. For football fans, the NFL dominates the air ways all day Sunday and Monday night as well. For hockey fans, the boys are on the ice and ready to do battle. But this year, [...]

I recently returned from the semi-annual meeting of our Jesuit Network of Directors and Associate Deans of Graduate Business Schools.  What constantly impresses and revitalizes me is the wonderful resource this group continues to be– both for students and for those of us who do our best to serve GSB students and continuously improve our programs.  Formed in 1996, the goal of [...]

First day on the job!  It’s a big deal!  Especially when jobs are hard to find.  But good market or bad, the first day on the job is both exciting, and a little intimidating. To begin with, the employee wants to make a good impression.  Wants to seem glad to be there, and eager to [...]

President Obama was absolutely correct when he said that the unemployment level in America is too high and that we need to put people back to work.  Americans, he said, believe in work and want to work.  Work is part of our heritage and culture.  The great promise of the Protestant Work Ethic is that [...]
