One of my friends from college recently sent me the following email about some great work that a couple of Stanford MBA/MA.Ed graduates are doing with a school in Africa. I liked her email so much that I wanted to post it here and steal a quote from it for the title :-)

Whew, I sure have been getting a lot of exposure to cold temperatures lately and it is killing me. I’m writing this post from NYC and I’ve got another story for you from the realms of “It sure can be tough to be a Black dude in America”. Last night, I had to meet a friend for dinner at a restaurant that was only about 10-12 blocks from my hotel, but I was reluctant to walk the distance because the

Hey everyone. I’m writing this entry to share the link to a blog that my man Doug has started about the energy industry. I’m not sure how many of you are interested in that area, but, for those that are, he’s writing some really good stuff in here:

I had a couple of comments posted on my last entry that I thought might be worth posting an open response to. I hope some others get some insight from these questions…

Recently, a few people have contacted me with questions about the Stanford joint degree MBA/MA.Ed program and this post is probably the sort of thing they would be interested in. Others will probably be interested too, but this will definitely catch the eye of folks interested in Education.

Yesterday, I found out that one of my professors from the Stanford School of Education, Prof. Michael Kirst, has his own blog up and I wanted to give him a

OK, so I guess that everyone in the world knows that today is the biggest day of the year for sports fans, right? Yup, that’s right…it’s Super Bowl Sunday. But guess where I’m writing this entry from…a seat on a place en route from SFO to ATL at about 30,000 feet in the air.

Well, this entry is meant to give you guys a heads up about a great company called FreePledge that was founded by the wife of one of my GSB classmates and that boyfriend of another GSB classmates.
