Hello Readers,
Welcome to the latest installment in the Life of Christopher J Adams!
Once again, I find myself needing to apologize for neglecting this publication for so long. As you can well imagine, they keep us quite busy at Simon. That's actually what I wanted to write about. It's really amazing that after having been at Simon for only a year and several months, I feel like a major participant and stakeholder in its well-being.
When one goes to business school, it's more than just an education being purchased. It's a lifelong admission to a network of colleagues who have studied at your alma mater before you, with you, and after you. For that reason, your relationship with your business school as an alumnus or alumna (ideally) persists long after your studies are finished. It is in that spirit that I've joined with several initiatives to improve my school.
One such initiative is the Simon Immersion Program, whose goal is to extend a proper welcome to new members of our Simon family. Several weeks ago, the program's co-creators and I (pictured above) had the opportunity to test our initiative on the January (Red) Cohort. The initial feedback from this diverse group of students, coming to Rochester from all over the world, was encouraging.
It was successful enough that the Admissions department asked me to write a guest contribution to its blog, which I wanted to share with everyone:
http://simonschool.typepad.com/admissionsblog/2008/02/draft-the-simon.html
Over the next few months, I'll be working with the initiative's co-creators to further improve the program based on the initial feedback we've gotten. In the meantime, feel free to comment with any thoughts and suggestions.
Until next time...
