Move aside Twitter, Facebook and all other social-chatteria,
blogging is where it's at now! Like all things trendy in my life, I
am approximately five years too late to start my own blog.
Nonetheless, the idea behind my blog is to engage readers through
my perspective and to learn something new from them. Thanks for
visiting my blog and I hope you enjoy reading about my experiences
as an MBA student.

your life.” -Confucius …..and just like that, a typical MBA

belief in your goals (believe me that is...

This week, students from the UIC MBA Association (MBAA) visited The
Night Ministry’s overnight youth shelter, The Crib. The shelter
provides space for young people ages 18-24 to get a hot meal,
sleep, do yoga, dance, rest, and be safe. The Crib is an important
addition to Chicago’s efforts to care for youth who are on the
streets, because there are only about 230 other shelter beds for
youth in Chicago, while an estimated 2,000 young people experience
homelessness every night. Six students...

Graduate students often wonder if they should become involved in a
student organization. I would say an emphatic YES! Student
organizations are a great place to meet new friends, stay active on
campus and learn a little more about your interests. Whether you

one that you really like, you get more involved by taking up a
leadership position. The Liautuad Graduate...

That’s what you can call yourself after completing one year in a
two-year MBA program. But simple math aside, it is very interesting
to find out what that means. Are we really halfway there to
figuring out the science of management? Or can we now at the glance
of a balance sheet understand the complexities of a firm? During
the first year, we are taken through several core disciplines of
business to get a holistic view of all the 'cogs in the wheel'. I
would be lying if I said that the first...
