It gives me great pleasure to welcome Alex Lawrence, Assistant Dean of MBA Admissions and Financial Aid at UCLA Anderson School of Management, which just happens to be where I earned my MBA. Alex is a fellow Anderson alum, who earned his MBA in 1999. Prior to that he earned a bachelor’s and master’s in electrical engineering. After earning his MBA, he worked in management consulting for four years and then returned to UCLA Anderson as Director of the Riordan Program. In 2012 he became first the director and then the Assistant Dean for MBA Admissions. Welcome! Can you give us an overview of Anderson’s full-time MBA program?  [1:50] It’s a great program in a fantastic location – Los Angeles – that offers so many opportunities. We have recruiting strengths in management consulting, finance, real estate, entertainment. Students have a flexible curriculum, and an amazing career services center. There are so many opportunities for those who attend Anderson and become part of the family. What’s new or changing at Anderson?  [2:55] We’re building a new building! Marion Anderson Hall – we’re breaking ground soon and we expect it to be ready in 26 months. It will be fantastic, building on what we already have. We have a new leadership development program, which launched last year. And our social development specialization just launched. We changed the start of the school year for first year students. Now we bring first year students to campus in August (instead of September). They appreciate the chance to get used to the environment earlier – they take one course and have an orientation before fall quarter starts at the end of September. It also means that recruiting and info sessions are spread out over an extra month and a half. What is the nature of the leadership development program?  [8:10] It gives students the opportunity to learn from their peers and from staff, and to build a rapport with senior leadership. They get insight on qualities they want to develop. They all take the Berkman Assessment Tool. It’s an opportunity to get feedback from a different perspective from the classroom. In the classroom, there’s not always an opportunity for them to share all their skills – but working with the coaches they can get guidance on the opportunities they’re seeking. UCLA Anderson is proud of its culture where students share success, think fearlessly and drive change. Let’s unwrap each of those core qualities. What do they mean?  [11:10] Share success – when you collaborate to win, that’s when you share success. We have our students collaborate in learning teams. We want them to support each other. Second year students serve as coaches for first years. And alumni remain supportive and involved – I’ve definitely been the recipient of that support. Thinking fearlessly – our entire community is fearless in thinking about opportunities and innovations. When you look at the accomplishments of our alumni, there are countless examples of how they’re thinking of how to do business differently and respond to challenges. Driving change – this really comes from the idea that we’re pragmatic, action-oriented. We measure ourselves against results. Being part of the community as a student, alumnus, and part of the staff, I see how these qualities come out in the community. There’s something different about UCLA Anderson. Anderson has had a capstone project since before I got there. It was then called Field Study. It has by now morphed into Applied Management Research, and recently Anderson added the BCO, Business Creation Option. Can you describe these options?  [17:10] Anderson was the first b-school to create this project over 50 years ago. It’s a 20-week project where our students partner with a client to solve a key strategic business challenge that the client has. The client could be a Fortune 500 company, a small business, a startup, etc. It’s a fantastic opportunity to have a chance to solve real world problems and gain experience. And it’s not localized to Southern California – there are opportunities across the US and internationally. The Business Creation Option is for more entrepreneurially-minded students. Each year 20-23 teams participate. Students get input from faculty and exposure to the VC community. We have a number of success stories. Over 50% of the BCO projects have launched! An example of a success story is Vow to Be Chic – a designer bridesmaid rental site. You mentioned Anderson’s location – how is it an advantage?  [23:20] Many times people think automatically about media and entertainment, and that’s definitely a strength of being in LA, but it’s much more than that. The student experience is very rich – people are taking advantage of academic year internships in all industries. The classroom environment is exciting: we have lecturers who bring in their industry experience. And the Dean brings industry leaders to speak and meet with students. Recruiting is changing. There are more recruiters, and more opportunities, but the hiring path is more diverse and splintered than it was ten years ago. How is Anderson adapting to those changes?  [30:00] The career center does over 4,000 advising sessions for our students. We have â€Å"day on the job† events coast to coast. We prep students for video interviews, and help them get their resumes ready. And we begin those relationships even before students arrive on campus. We hear from recruiters that Anderson students are as competitive as students from other top programs, and they’re also really strong team players. UCLA Anderson accepted approximately one out of every four applicants. Who gets the interview invitations? From those invited to interview, who gets accepted? How do you winnow it down?  [34:40] We really want to bring in individuals who resonate with our culture – people who show evidence of working in teams and being collaborative. Our class profile is on our website. People often ask if they need to have a certain GMAT/GPA. We do admit people with lower scores, and deny some with higher scores. We ask, how will this person perform academically and contribute to the community? We’re not looking for the â€Å"lone wolf† profile. Academically, you have to be competitive – in the range – but it’s a holistic process overall. UCLA has a new essay question. Can you share the question and some advice?  [38:00] We have two essays this year. We’re not trying to make it more complicated – we’re just giving the applicants more opportunity to showcase why Anderson is the right choice for them. Essay 1: Describe your short-term and long-term career goals. How can UCLA Anderson contribute to your career development? Most people pursue an MBA to advance their careers – how does UCLA Anderson fit into your career trajectory? Essay 2: Describe how you would contribute to the UCLA Anderson community. The people who are most successful have done their due diligence. We’re a very open campus – visitors can attend a class, meet professors, potentially meet an admissions officer. We travel as well for info sessions. Once you start learning what it’s like to be part of the Anderson community, think about how you would fit into it. We know not everyone can visit, but our website has a lot of information, videos, student ambassadors you can contact. Learn why they chose Anderson. Learn about speakers, conferences, etc. It’s great when you can start talking to people who’ve been there and done it – you can really visualize yourself as a member of the community. Any other changes to the application?  [43:40] There’s starting to be a move to a common letter of rec. I can’t talk about the nuts and bolts of it now. But at the end of the day, schools all want to learn similar information from a letter of rec. Do you have advice for people planning ahead to apply in 2018?  [45:55] It takes a while to get the standardized test score you really want – it takes some prep. So start thinking about that. If possible, visit the campus. Starting in October, you can visit our campus and visit classes. Start talking to people who’ve gone to b-school and have an MBA – people learn about b-school from people who’ve done it already. Start looking at the elements of the application itself – for multiple schools. Some schools have video essays and different interview formats. So it’s good to be aware. If they’re not sure of their career direction, should they take time to clarify that direction this year, and maybe do informational interviews, etc?  [50:25] Definitely, definitely. The strongest applicants are those who have a sense of what their goals are. Having an awareness of what the career is and the skillset it demands is very important. Go a couple of layers below the surface. Finding the right fit from a school standpoint is important – you need to know if the school will help you get to your ultimate goal. What do you wish people would know about Anderson?  [52:25] They don’t realize we’re not just an entertainment school. People here go into tech, finance, consulting†¦ They start their own businesses. LA is an incredibly vibrant startup/small business scene. It’s more about what you want to do. We have a worldwide alumni network and a strong brand. Being in an environment where people are not just going to be part of the status quo is exciting.

The Differences Between The Developmental Policies

Donaldson examined a similar problem in Guizhou and Yunnan wherein even though poverty reduction was one of the explicit goals of developmental programs in two of China’s most remote provinces, he found that the differences between the developmental policies in Guizhou and Yunnan. Wherein one (Guizhou) saw fairly modest economic growth but greatly reduced poverty, compared to Yunnan which saw strong economic growth but stagnant rates of rural poverty i.e. economic growth did not reduce poverty. This was accomplished, Donaldson argues, based on individual official’s experiences and leadership style. Guizhou focused on micro-level opportunities to â€Å"increase farmers livelihoods by shifting rural labor (through out-of-province migration) and increasing opportunities for farmers to increase their incomes at home, in part by building modest roads linking villages to local markets and promoting local, small-scale industries, such as rural tourism and coal mining.† Donaldson’s findings are evidence to the importance of evaluating and setting the policy agenda with respect to all of the objectives outlined in food policy rather than just focusing on a single aspect, in this case poverty reduction, can hamstring the policy. Ignoring the interdependence of the objectives will ultimately cripple developmental policy as the externalities of narrow-minded policy create a negative feedback loop and thus kicks the developmental can down the road rather than dealing with the root of theShow MoreRelatedInfluenced By Marxism And Imperialism915 Words   |  4 Pagesscholars basically believe that less-developed countries will be unable to develop because the rich world uses them as the equivalent of colonies.

Knowledge As Power in The Tempest Essay - 1198 Words

This essay deals with the figure of Prospero as master of Shakespeares â€Å"The Tempest†, illustrating his power in all its expressions and explaining how it is based on knowledge. The first paragraph explains the context in which Prosperos power arises through the play and introduces his background and other main characters. In the second paragraph I discuss the relationship between Prospero and Caliban, a creature found in the island and submitted by the protagonist that attempts to civilize him. The third paragraph is about Miranda, Prosperos daughter. She grew up only with her father after the shipwreck, so he is the only example she can follow and he decides everything for her. In the forth paragraph I analyze two different levels of†¦show more content†¦The man learns the art of magic and with the help of Ariel, a spirit found imprisoned inside a log in the island, originates a tempest while a ship is crossing his sea. Prospero starts impressing the reader with his power, lets him know that he can dominate the nature effortless. It must be pointed out that actually Ariel is not helping Prospero because he feels like: he is subjugated at his service. The island had two previous inhabitants, that ended up under the Dukes control when he decided to colonize the new territory and to make himself the leader. Ariel and Caliban, as the other creature is named, are totally submitted, enslaved to the colonizer. Calibans submission deserves his own chapter. Caliban is the son of Sycorax, a witch that previously lived in the island due to her exile. The creature claims the possession of his territory sustaining to have inherited it from his mother, but Prospero does not really see things from the same point of view. The man does not put himself on the same level as Caliban, he takes for granted his superiority. He is fully convinced that it is his duty to educate that ignorant creature and to learn him his language because of his being nothing more than a savage: â€Å"[†¦] I pitied thee, / Took pains to make thee speak, taught thee each hour / One thing or other: when thou didst not, savage, / Know thine own meaning, but wouldstShow MoreRelatedEssay about More Than Meets The Eye1643 Words   |  7 PagesThroughout history, individuals have notoriously been subject to higher powers.   This form of ownership of an individual exemplifies itself in slavery, indentured servitude, and even in the governmental systems that hold reign over the general population.   The ability of one person to rule over another arises from both moral and physical inequalities.   Jean-Jacques Rousseau, a prominent Genevan philosopher, attempts to uncover the origin of inequality.   In The Second Discourse, Rousseau systematicallyRead MoreEssay Comparing The Tempest and King Lear1338 Words   |  6 PagesComparing The Tempest and King Lear      Ã‚  Ã‚   This essay will focus on the similarities and differences of the plays The Tempest and King Lear in general, as well as looking at comparisons of Prospero and Lear in somewhat more detail.

How to Translate Modal Verbs into French

Modal verbs, also called modal auxiliaries or simply modals, are unconjugated English verbs which express the mood of a verb, such as ability, possibility, condition, and necessity. With the exception of ought, modals are followed directly by the verb they modify (without to in between). There are ten common English modal verbs: cancouldmaymightmustought toshallshouldwillwould French does not have modal verbs, which can make it difficult to translate them. The French equivalents of modal verbs may be a conjugable verb (e.g., pouvoir), a particular verb tense or mood, or even an adverb.

Lord Atkin s Neighbor Principle - 1442 Words

As illustrated through Lord Atkin’s â€Å"Neighbour Principle†, established in the case of Donoghue v Stevenson , tort of negligence provides a remedy for those who suffer loss due to the behaviour of a person who fails to adhere to a legal duty to take reasonable care. On these grounds, it appears that Geoff and Beth may be held to have joint several liability in negligently causing Paul physical damage. Paul could bring a tortuous action against Geoff on the grounds of negligent driving, in relation to his head and collarbone injuries. As elucidated by Greer LJ in Haynes v Harwood , to have a cause of action in negligence, there must be the neglect of â€Å"some duty owed to the† claimant. Accordingly, Geoff’s legal duty of care is established through s.3 Road Traffic Act 1988, which, in imposing strict liability in cases of negligent driving, creates a duty of care. It provides that a driver is deemed to have committed a tortuous act by driving carelessly â€Å"without due care and attention† , therefore as Geoff is driving a mechanically propelled vehicle, he has a statutory duty of care towards other road users. There then arises the question as to whether Geoff’s behaviour has fallen below the â€Å"reasonable standard of care†. This is based on the premise that liability arises where the defendant causes loss or damage to another â€Å"by fault†.

A cultural revolution during the sixties Essay Example For Students

A cultural revolution during the sixties Essay They formed new religious cultures in society, offered people a means to participate in a counter-culture which was never to be fully completed. They did not to any extent replace the existing religious institutions in society, and so could not be described as revolutionary movements. The most they may have achieved is to have contributed to the trend of people turning away from the traditional church based beliefs, an ongoing tendency throughout the past 70 years. The sixties also saw innovations in art, with bold new artists who conflicted with traditional expectations and values. Cultural art might be defined as the traditional standards of that which dates back to Greek and Roman traditions, of representation, and decorative styles. Rothko contravened these traditions through work such as the Seagram Murals by audacious use of colour, to create abstract paintings with malicious intentions to disturb and unsettle the observer. Rothko was not the first painter to experiment with emotion and mood in paintings. Van Goghs The All Night Cafi , Arles aimed to express the terrible passions of humanity by means of reds and greens. The idea that tone could be conveyed by other manners than simply the objects pictured was an ongoing idea explored by artists from around the beginning of the nineteenth century. Sylvester identifies Rothkos work alongside this tradition of reconciliation of Apollo and Dionysus forms of art, part of a long tradition in artistic styles. Warhol was one of a number of so called pop artists disliked by Rothko, who also created pioneering works during the sixties. He used a new medium of silkscreen which did contain images, although presented in an unusual fashion. The images were particularly evocative of current events, using carefully treated photographic images. In some ways it is less counter-cultural than Rothkos work, as it does retain many techniques which have been used for the past centuries. It is evocative of the sixties, and used innovative methods, but these methods have led to questions as to whether it can be classified as art at all. The period since the sixties has often been characterized as post-modern some critics claiming that nonconformist art is no longer relevant to present art culture. It does seem that perception and treatment of artistic works did change. The changes within art were largely to do with monetary reasons. Rothko experienced conflict between monetary value and artistic value, whereas as the pop art culture of artists such as Warhol allowed art to be available to mass consumerism. Art in the sixties is demonstrative of counter culture activities of the time, and underwent big changes in its treatment, still very much evident today. However as in other areas, there was not a revolution, in that the old methods were not totally abandoned or disregarded, but the sixties were very important to artistic development. The sixties were a turbulent period, of mixed values and cultures. This may have been due to a number of factors, such as the increase in standards of living, the distress of the Vietnam War and exposure to different cultures. Many aspects of the sixties have remained to date, but Roszaks counter-culture that would see systems of logic and objectivity overthrown by emotional abilities never occurred. Much of the Cultural Revolution was a myth, society evolves constantly, and although the sixties saw a high degree of cataclysm, the basic tenets of cultural society have remained unchanged.
