FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Attend a GEMBA Roundtable on 22 August |
Maybe you’ve thought about getting your MBA, but you don’t want to take two years off of work. Or maybe you’re feeling stuck in your career or company, and you want to see what an international perspective could bring to your work. If so, Darden’s Global MBA for Executives (GEMBA) format might be the right fit for you. Darden’s GEMBA format boasts the same core curriculum as Darden’s full-time program and is taught by the same top-ranked faculty, but it works with your schedule and your career goals. You will earn your MBA while continuing to work full time and will be able to apply the lessons you learn in class at your job immediately. Over 21 months, you will go on six two-week-long international residencies – that’s only 60 total days out of the office – to fully understand what managing a business means in different countries. Once you’ve completed your degree, the options are endless – strengthen your position at your current company, take on a new role at a new company, or switch to an entirely different career. Want to learn more? On Saturday, 22 August, Darden will be hosting a special Class Visit Day for prospective students interested in the Global MBA for Executives program. Attendees will come to Charlottesville to spend a morning learning more about the format, getting answers to any questions, and finding out about what makes Darden so unique. The visit will include a roundtable discussion with Darden GEMBA staff and faculty, a class visit, a tour of grounds, and lunch with current GEMBA students. You can register for the event here. If you cannot attend, be sure to also check our website for other upcoming events throughout the rest of the summer and the fall. We hope to see you soon! |

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Women@Darden |
The Class of 2017 has arrived at Darden, bringing with it record-breaking numbers of women. Across the three formats, this year’s class boasts 34% women. The residential class alone has 117 women, and we are so excited to have them on Grounds. Darden is committed to recruiting women who want to positively impact the world, and empowering them for long-term success in whatever role they choose. One of the ways we promote that is through the Women@Darden Initiative. The Women@Darden Initiative is a cross-departmental effort launched last year to examine and to continually improve the quality of the Darden experience for prospective and current female students and alumnae. Faculty, students, alumnae and senior leaders of the School, moreover, collaborate to explore recruitment, student experience and alumni engagement in an ongoing effort to enrich Darden’s ecosystem for women. This group’s outreach and strategic initiatives are one of the many ways the School is supporting a diverse, vibrant community and encouraging open and sustained dialogue around important issues of gender dynamics and gender equality. We invite you to learn more about the opportunities available to women on our website. We also welcome any questions you may have about Women@Darden or any of our other programs or partnerships. |

FROM Darden Admissions Blog: Dean Scott C. Beardsley Featured in Poets & Quants |
Dean Scott Beardsley is settling into his second month at Darden, and he was recently interviewed by Poets & Quants about his consulting background, his decision to transition into academia and his first orders of business at Darden. “I don’t feel like a fish out of water,” insists the sandy-haired Beardsley. “Perhaps that is because I come from a place that has a similar governance structure. One of the former managing directors of McKinsey has said that the best way to understand the firm is to think of it as a university. Knowledge is our prime currency. It runs on a shared governance process. You can’t tell anyone what to do. It’s collaborative and consultative, and that is true of Darden. ” You can read the full article here. We are lucky to have Dean Beardsley joining us tomorrow for his first Admissions & Alumni Reception with Darden in Washington, DC. These receptions are a unique opportunity to personally connect with members of the Darden community, including Admissions Committee members, faculty and alumni. If you would like to attend, please register here. |
