My lesson for this week: sometimes, taking four and a half classes off of your schedule doesn’t necessarily make your life any less busy. Not sure if that says more about my classes or about me. Either way, here’s your roundup for the first week of June: On the heels of my income-sensitive ticket proposal,Read More
Around the horn: MBA edition
Createquity began in October 2007 in large part as a vehicle for me to share the novel experience of business school from an artist’s and nontraditional student’s perspective. That experience ended today, as I officially received my Master of Business Administration degree from the Yale School of Management, but Createquity will live on. Though theRead More
Around the horn: end of the road edition
It’s a race to the finish here, as grades for my classes are due in just a few short days. In less than a week, I will be officially done with business school! As for the Around the Horn feature, the response to my query last week was limited but uniformly in favor of keepingRead More
Around the horn: turning the corner edition
Here’s a question for my long(er)time readers: should I continue with the weekly “around the horn” posts, or would you prefer if I selected only the articles that I have something to say about and gave them their own entries? I would then put articles that I merely find notable on my Twitter feed. DoRead More
Around the horn: Pig virus edition
I am done with one of my five classes as of this past Friday, a sign that things are finally winding down here in New Haven. With final projects and/or major hours quotas for all of my other commitments, however, I’m guaranteed to be up against it for at least a couple more weeks. InRead More
Around the horn: redeye edition
This one will have to be quick because I’m leaving on a plane to California in a few hours. Busy, busy, busy! The Hewlett Foundation has finally released phase two of its Youth in the Arts report, conducted by Barry Hessenius. This edition used focus groups of young arts professionals to explore the implications ofRead More
Around the horn: Bake sale edition
Last weekend, I visited NYC and checked out some new music concerts for the first time in a while. The first, on Friday night, was the first-ever New Music Bake Sale presented by Newspeak and Ensemble de Sade, a raucous affair with five hours of music, well over a hundred attendees, tables for different organizationsRead More
Around the horn: OMG I’m almost done! edition
I realized late last week that I haven’t yet posted about the classes I’m taking in this, my final half-semester at Yale School of Management. Two are carrying over from earlier in the semester: my Recording Arts class in the Sound Design program at the Drama School, and my nonprofit law clinic in which weRead More
Around the horn: Traffic spike edition
So, yesterday the number of visitors to Createquity shot up by about 500% over previous day averages for the past month. My recent post on compensation for support employees in the nonprofit sector got linked on the Philanthropy News Digest blog, and it looks like some people posted it on Facebook and emailed it aroundRead More
Around the horn: April Fool’s edition
Having returned from my sojourn out West and down South which included both a wedding and a bar mitzvah, I am now getting ready for the final eighth of my MBA adventure. I’ll share the final version of my course schedule once it’s finalized next week, but for now it looks like I’ll be pursuingRead More
