The recruiting season officially kicked off this week. Today we began Company Information Days, where a ton of companies come through campus to give informational sessions and meet&greet students. Despite the bad market for jobs, the Career Services office tells us job postings for RCs (first years) are up 34% this year. Good news, I hope.

Every once and a while, the case method gets really interactive when the protagonist in the case comes to visit class and tell their side of the story after listening to us talk about what they did or should have done for 45 minutes. Today, in LEAD (Leadership and Organizational Behavior), the case was about Jack Welch and his 20 year reign as the CEO of GE. When I showed up in the classroom at 830 this morning, I was pleasantly surprised to find Jack Welch himself in the room. He spoke for the last half of class, took questions, talked about the Obama win last night, and otherwise made for what was the most interesting class I’ve been in yet here. That, to me, is the power of the case method.
