alum in the news, leading change, and ambassadors

We were just talking about it in class, and came across this article. Why does it matter? Just trivia, really, but the new Chairman of NYSE Euronext, Duncan Niederbauer, is an Emory MBA. :) Pretty cool.

While on the subject of change (haha! Ok, I needed a segue), yesterday we had speakers from Delta, who were downright amazing. We're discussing leading change in our LPO (Leading People & Organizations) class, and they came to talk about turning Delta around from both Finance and Marketing standpoints. They covered a lot of material, but everything was relevant and they were so engaging that the time just flew. Hands down, they were awesome awesome awesome.

The school has also recently had some ambassadors (Belarus, Greece, Venezuela) over for lunch-and-learn type of events these past few days, and I was able to attend one, which I found to be very insightful and I'm definitely interested to learn more.
