The MBA program is exceeding my expectations and is providing a great depth of knowledge.  The opportunities are great and time quickly passes. The semester is will be coming to an end in a few weeks and I have been working on several group projects that will be coming due next week.  For the first semester we work in groups of five students for the entire semester.

One group project we are doing is for our finance class.  We are analyzing financial statements, forecasting, and getting insights into some of the business complications and capital budgeting issues involved.  This is challenging for me, but I am learning a lot and am defiantly making progress.

One of the assignments my group is working on is for our HR class.  We interviewed a change agent with in a bakery and are seeing how the change models we have studied are applied to situation in real life; what was done well and what could be improved.  We have also done a lot of case studies in the program evaluating different HR principles.

Today we met as an Organizational Behavior / Human Resources track and discussed internships and some of the many opportunities that are present.  2^nd year students shared many of the insights they have gained from the process they have been through when looking for their internship and jobs. Last week I was able to go to lunch with a few other students with a recruiter from Ford.  The company is going through a lot of changes to say the least and is looking for innovative talent.  These are great opportunities.
