“Teaching in the MBA Programs is both a privilege and a challenge that our faculty eagerly seek. While it is intellectually stimulating to be in classrooms moderating discussions of business theories and practices with some of the brightest minds in the region, it is the long-term relationships that we form with these current and future leaders that are most rewarding.”
