FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Global Learning Expeditions


One of their most popular MBA enrichment initiatives, the Center for Global Business and Government (CGBG) organizes half-term-elective courses (for credit) called Learning Expeditions (LEs) each academic year. These faculty-led trips offer several benefits, including:

  • Immersive experiential learning that takes place in the field, often in emerging markets and developing countries
  • Access to the people and organizations shaping the global business environment
  • Cultural experiences carefully designed by local experts
  • Opportunity to shape a global business perspective
  • Close interaction with Tuck's top faculty thought leaders

Learning Expeditions in 2013-2014, included trips to Brazil, China, Israel/Turkey, Spain, South Africa, United Arab Emirates, and Vietnam/Singapore.

As they adjust to being back on campus, student participants chronicle their Spring Break LE experiences to the United Arab Emirates, South Africa, China, and Vietnam/Singapore on the CGBG blog.

 



 

United Arab Emirates Learning Expedition 2014 - Theofanis Tigkas, T’15

 



China Learning Expedition 2014 - Elliot Gillerman, T'15

 



South Africa Learning Expedition 2014 - Tatiana Gulnik, T'15

 



Vietnam/Singapore Learning Expedition 2014 - Katherine Gray, T'15

 

Each fall, CGBG staff invites students to information sessions about the spring break courses. These sessions provide details about destinations, price, itineraries, and application process.

The Center for Global Business and Government was formed to ensure that Tuck students, faculty, and alumni remain on the leading edge of two of the most profound trends impacting business today – globalization and the broad, ever-changing role of government in business. Programs at the Center for Global Business and Government at Tuck are focused on learning about the intersection of business and government, which is fundamental to an MBA education and to every business leader’s career.  The Center focuses on MBA enrichment through the organization of on-campus and travel programs that address current global business and economic trends, as well as executive engagement by working with senior executives and policy makers, facilitating projects, and developing relevant papers and reports.

FROM Tuck Admissions Blog: Why should you attend Tuck’s Military Visit Day?
Dan Bleicher T'15, grew up in Fort Lauderdale, FL and attended the USNA, graduating with a B.S. in Political Science.  Upon graduation he flew S-3 Vikings as an NFO and E-6B Mercury’s as a pilot.  He also served as the Executive Assistant to the Deputy Commander, Sixth Fleet while living in Naples, Italy.  Dan chose Tuck because of its tight-knit community, strong alumni network, and Hanover’s family friendly atmosphere.  Dan enjoys skiing, spending time with his family, and trying the Upper Valley’s latest microbrews.  He will be interning this summer at McKinsey’s Washington, DC office.

 

When I was applying to business schools, I knew that each one had its own culture, benefits, and yes, some even had drawbacks.  Whereas my Tuck classmates were able to seek information from their colleagues at their firms and banks (many of whom were alumni of schools such as Tuck), not a single person in my Navy squadron had attended a full-time MBA program.  To help make sense of the dizzying array of information available to me, I sought the candid advice and honest feedback from Veterans at every school that I was interested in possibly attending.

These former Vets helped me not only figure out if pursuing an MBA was the appropriate path, but also what steps I needed to take to get there.  The road to Hanover was long, but undoubtedly worth it.  In hindsight, the advice and guidance that Vets at numerous schools passed along to me were more valuable than any book or forum that I came across during the admissions process.  In addition to phone conversations, they offered to review my resume, met with me when I was on campus for my interview, and had their significant others reach out to my wife after I was accepted.

Fall A came with many surprises: the pace of coursework and the time required for recruiting were the major ones.  Another thing that surprised me was that by the second week of the term I was already talking to prospective T’16s who were serving in Afghanistan or onboard ships.  It was time to begin paying it forward.  By December the T’15 Vets had talked to dozens of activity duty military members who were contemplating an MBA or applying to Tuck.

One of the best pieces of advice that I received and now pass along: start early.  Each step in the process requires thoughtful preparation.  In addition to reaching out to applicants with military backgrounds, the Armed Forces Alumni Association has posted several common questions that we had when we were applying (they can be found here).

Along the “start early” theme, for the first time in school history, the Armed Forces Alumni Association and Tuck Admissions will host a Military Visit Day.  Geared towards Veterans who are in the first stages of exploring whether an MBA is right for them, this event will take place on Monday, May 12th.  Prospective MBA candidates will be able to get their questions answered about topics ranging from common mistakes Veterans make on their MBA applications to “how do companies that recruit on campus view military backgrounds?”

For more information about the Military Visit Day please click here.  If you cannot make the Military Visit Day, but are interested in learning more about the value of an MBA or the Tuck experience please feel free to reach out to any of the Tuck Vets!

Hello everyone! The boards sure have been slow!

With R3 decisions happening this Friday (exciting!), there have been a few questions to where admitted/matriculating students are at in the housing/dorm process.

Has the lottery been started for on campus living? When is the expected decision regarding on campus housing?

The lottery happened last friday so people already know whether they have a dorm room or a spot on the waitlist. Deadline for accepting/declining the dorm room allocation is this friday.

Hey guys! Hope you're all doing well.

Any news from R3 applicants? I applied R3 myself but have yet to hear anything. Should we expect phone calls?


Slim pickings today... they told all the EA, R1, R2 reduced waitlisters that the 2016 class was at capacity. Not sure what that means for R3'ers. Seems real quiet today.
