Smeal Faculty Respond to the Financial Crisis

Saturday, October 25th, 2008

I’ve always told people considering an MBA that it is the faculty that counts.  Not just one or two members of the faculty that have written books, or spend time lecturing on a very limited circuit – but total faculty. 

Why? 

Well, one reason is that when the global economy undergoes a major shift as it has in the past weeks the business world, and EMBA students in particular, look for answers and perspective.  As Wall Street struggled through its worst ever time, members of the Smeal EMBA faculty shared their thoughts about the genesis of the crisis and an uncertain financial future. Find out who weighed in, and hear what they had to say in videos in this month’s Smeal Report. 

As you watch the video’s and read the bio’s of the professors consider this:  At the Smeal EMBA you will be taught by the 8th best MBA faculty in the US (Economist 2008).  As a Smeal EMBA you join the country’s second largest business school, and a community that has the resources to respond and inform not only to this current crisis, but future ones as well.
