Expand your Social Circle

Posted January 16, 2012 by Allen Wright

For those that were with me during the MBA program or to those that I have talked about the MBA experience; I often mention that going to class is not enough, you must fully engage with other student, especially those outside your normal social circle. My trip to India was a testament to this fact; I went to India and was shown the country and experienced a traditional wedding by my close friends from the MBA program Rajeev Singh, Arnav Sunny Sinha, Shivramakrishnan Iyer, Megha Kalani and Shweta Singh all of whom I thank for a tremendous experience. Thank you friends. I don't believe that students that simply go to school and do not look beyond their textbooks would have received such hospitality. Remember; an MBA program is more than just academics, it is an introduction to future colleagues, partners, investors, and entrepreneurs.
