#202 - Our Immigrant Stories

02/10/20 • 31 min

In this episode, host Mawa welcomes four student panelists who all have one thing in common: They have immigrated to the U.S. from overseas (Argentina, England, Albania, and India). They reflect on the challenges and rewards of their experiences in the Ross Weekend and Evening MBA programs, and they offer some advice for prospective students -- and for visitors to their home countries.

#203 - The Michigan Ross Online MBA: A Chat with Some Pioneering Students

The Michigan Ross Online MBA Program offers a unique experience in top-ranked business education. Most learning takes place at a distance, through a combination of self-guided modules and live, interactive class sessions. But the program also includes three multi-day residencies, when the student cohort comes together in person for focused, hands-on learning opportunities.

With the inaugural Online MBA cohort together in Ann Arbor for the first time, regular “Working for the Weekend” host Mawa sat down for dinner and a chat with three members of the first Online MBA class from around the country — Chris, Sam, and Marissa — as well as Professor Greg Miller, who taught the first online class. They discussed how they’re bonding as a cohort, what the live class sessions are really like, and their in-person experiences in the Leadership Crisis Challenge. Meanwhile, Professor Miller shared his thoughts on the unique opportunities offered by the online format, the caliber of the students, and more.
