As you already know, this is not a traditional MBA. Set against the backdrop of the Bay Area, known for an adamant commitment to advancing a better world, we train future leaders to question, listen and design, centered around the human condition. Given the unique nature of a college of…

Yesterday added to our public health tragedy a new blow to American democracy — and there’s something we can do about it. Many of us looked at today’s Presidential Primary (and hundreds of local offices on the ballot) in Wisconsin as a way to get a read on how the…

Election Day is three weeks away. Especially for those of us with mail in or early voting (sent!) we may as well call it E-Day. In the vernacular of seminal moments, perhaps the war analogy is apt. From my perspective, its the day that will define just what we’re in…
