Executive MBA class 44 came together on Sunday, April 6 to kick off Go! Week and their 20-month Executive MBA journey. And, after a lighthearted reception and dinner, there were no April fools in this bunch as they retreated to their study rooms to tackle the first of the week’s assignments.
Olin’s latest EMBA cohort boasts an average age of 41 years of work experience and that adds up to nearly 800 years collectively! They come from close by (a mile from Washington University) and far away including San Francisco, Denver, Memphis and Springfield, to name a few. Olin’s once-a-month format makes it possible for executives to commute to class from any where.
From former Top Gun pilots to Air Force strategists, 12 members of the cohort are veterans or are currently serving our country in multiple capacities. From physicians to entrepreneurs from bankers to business owners, EMBA 44 represents nearly 20 different industries.
This 44th cohort of Olin’s Executive MBA program will navigate through general business management, the Leadership Residency, experiential learning themes and the International Residency where they will work with cohort Shanghai 13 at our partner school Fudan University, before graduating on December 11, 2015.
Welcome to the Olin family, EMBA 44. It will be a great ride and we’re looking forward to every minute along the way!
