To better understand the culture of a city, you have to be willing to travel to locations that can’t be found on Trip Advisor. On Monday morning we traveled down to the once economically booming neighborhood of Recoleta to see some of the local food markets. Recoleta at one time was known […]
From our student guest blogger Abbey Rosenwinkel:
Our first two days in Chile couldn’t have been more opposite. Upon arriving we were swept into the whirlwind of a city that has many similarities and differences from Chicago. Chile’s painful and polarizing political history, their impressive focus on sustainability, and the geographical location near the Andes mountain range gives […]
An adventurous group of thirteen students in Quinlan’s Graduate School of Business are heading away from chilly Chicago to the warmer Chile south of the equator for our Spring Break.

I am reminded of this quote by John Donne as my Marketing 201 online class moves into the final week of the summer session. Having taught this online course for several years, I am always struck by the range of expectations that students bring to an online course. Despite their technology and social media savvy, […]
Today our first cohort of Intercontinental MBA students finishes the last of their coursework and completes their degrees. It has been a quick eleven months and these full-time students have been diligent and engaged since last August. They participated in the Graduation Festivities in mid-May, but their final courses, including the capstone in which they […]
Upon returning from our 5-week Asian Odyssey, the Intercontinental MBA Pioneers walked with the Spring graduates, but have one more quarter to degree completion.
