Stephen“Training to Create and Manage Sustainable Supply Chains
"Last week, I attended a great Net Impact event with a supply chain leader from Mars, the chocolate and health innovation manufacturer of M&Ms.  Over food and beer, we informally discussed the cocoa supply chain and the challenges facing cocoa farmers in West Africa, who often face low yields and little investment. .

RockyAdvice for First Years
"Oh our ultimate goal for getting an MBA degree is to get that dream job you’ve been longing for. Don’t put off the networking, career coaching until later! When you realize that you have to get back on the job wagon, it’s already too late. I will end with the title of Incubus’s newest album: “If not now, when?”

Negotiations!
Since the beginning of the program I’ve heard great things about this class and have been looking forward to it.  It looks as if the majority of this class will involve conducting negotiations in the class (graded on success) and outside the classroom, which is exactly the kind of practical experience I think will prove invaluable.

DanielleLife as a First Year
"First term was tough, but I expected no less. I had four classes, three of which were pretty quantitative, plus tons of activities, clubs and networking opportunities. Time management is definitely a skill you’ll learn quickly at Smith!"

AnthonyCareer Treks
"For the Media, Sports and Entertainment Association’s second career trek we decided to stay local and explore two Washington, D.C., based companies that both also recruit heavily at the Smith School of Business. National Public Radio and The Washington Post are two of the nations leading media companies that actively recruit MBA level talent to keep them ahead of their competition. So, on November 4th we embarked on a day long visit to the two companies respectively."
