Weatherhead Student Clubs
There are many student clubs in my MBA program. The most active ones are Finance, Health, Marketing, Net Impact, IT, and International Student. I was elected the president of the Marketing club for the next academic year. Last year due to the economic downturn and other factors, our club did not have as many events we would like to. Next year I want to invite some local professionals and affiliate ourselves with American Marketing Association (AMA) Cleveland Chapter. I am still thinking how to recruite more incoming students to join our club. I think the affiliation with AMA is a good idea, but I need to test it first. I already submitted my request for volunteering for AMA this summer. I am still waiting for their reply.

Weatherhead Full Time MBA Program
Hi, in my first post I said I would talk about my experience with Weatherhead FT MBA program so far. Here is the low down.
Weatherhead has a modest MBA program for those who value more interaction and time with the professors. About 100-120 students are taken in each incoming year. The program requires a minimum of 57 credit hours to graduate. Like other MBA programs, the first year is required to take the core curriculum. Electives are taken in the second year. But you can adjust your schedule to your own pace. Weatherhead charges a flat tuition rate for full time. So you can take between 12 and 21 credit hours for the same bucks.
I think the Weatherhead program is a hidden gem waiting to be discovered. The quality of the professors is remarkable. One of my favorite professors is Prof. Richard Osborne, a feisty octogenarian, who has been recently voted the most favorite teacher by students. He teaches CEO leadership and entreprenuership. His classes are unconventional and require students to think out of the box to solve problems.
Weatherhead is renowned for its OB (Organizational Behavior) courses. Every student must take the core course LEAD in his/her first year. It is taught by Prof. Tony Lingham. The opinions for this class are sharply divided. Some students loved it, and the others felt skeptical. I feel that this class is more like a life philosophy. It is useful to plan for your long term career and family life.
That's it for now. I will talk more about Weatherhead MBA program in the next posts.
