Spotlight

“I'm looking forward to working closely with PhD students and acknowledge that the relationship with them will be different than it is with other students. We look at the PhD students as peers who are just a few years down the line. It’s very different than with the MBA program, which is still mostly about imparting knowledge. We’re actually preparing PhD students to carry on the education process.”
