A proposition!!!

Lets keep this blog alive....to keep in touch.. and....share our experiences....!

Great class, Superb Prof and Wonderful Classmates..!

The day Prf. Osland told us about him, I was eagerly waiting to hear Joseph Stiglitz. It was so fascinating to sit in the same hall with a noble prize winner and listening to him. He analyzed the whole economic turmoil in a very easy to understand way with lots of examples. I was so delighted when one of my questions got selected and he answered it. I asked him about the "American Dream". This is a phrase that I have heard since my childhood, though I used to live in a very different part of the world. When I came here, some how after couple of years I also was living with that dream without even knowing. The whole consumerist environment somehow shadowed my values set out by my culture, which always teaches us to save and live within our means. After listening to Stiglitz, I was so amazed that an American is saying that this is not the right way and it should be changed. Hope we can all try to fix our own little economic problems by taking baby steps and this will eventually make a difference in larger picture.

This was my first time taking an off-campus class as I am an on-campus student for the MBA program. This course was a great experience for me as I got to meet professionals from different background and work with them. The demographics was a great mix which I though was perfect for a course in Global Leadership. I have learned a lot from the Professor's lecture, the fun games and simulations and also from my classmates. Thank you Prof. Osland and my dear classmates. Hope to see you in a different course sometime.

Another End

With only two classes to go in the program it still surprises me how fast a session comes and goes. However, this time, I can honestly say I come away with practical tools that will continue to make me a more globally aware person. The course schedule, activities and speakers took a great deal of thought, planning and extra effort, and as an experienced student, I want to say I appreciate those efforts and thank you all for making this a class I will remember.

last day on tuesday the 23rd

We were all sad that the class had already ended and it seemed really short. It was such a wonderful experience and we all learned so much about ourselves and our classmates, that we wish it was a little longer. The presentations on the last day were also very interesting and fun and we got alot to learn from them. This course was truly amazing and i thoroughly enjoyed it and would love to taking another course with professors Osland's if i get a chance to. Thank you.

Thank you,

Like previous posts from my classmate, I feel like this exciting learning adventure has just started, and there still many global leadership aspects that I have yet to learn. Nevertheless, good thing has come to an end. I’m so glad that I get to be a part of this innovative learning experience. Thank you Professor Osland and everyone for your contributions. I have learned a lot from all of you over the past one month or so.

Au revoir

Why oh why must this end? I guess it's time to put it to practice...
