Daily Need to prove my Sanity : I have unexpectedly become a social media misfit at a  traditional consumer marketing & life sciences powerhouse. As people say “destiny/god works in mysterious ways” I wouldn’t be where I am had it not been for the innocent concern of my Kelley classmates . Everyday I have to prove to them that my love for social media is not me falling for a fad. Had I been surrounded by believers somewhere in California I wouldn’t be as well versed in my field of choice.

Mid-western flexibility:  If you are passionate about something, Kelley will figure out a way to help you accomplish it. The  MBA program chair Prof. Phill Powell truly represents the flexible and down to earth nature of the faculty and staff at Kelley (Although he is a southerner, lets don’t go into the details here). His emotionally charged leadership style has been a steady source of inspiration for students in this tough job market.

Bloomington : Any one talking about Kelley cant leave Bloomington out; its a town which at first glance feels too small to fall in love with . But it turns out to be a city as liberal and diverse as San Fransisco, at Midwestern prices ( $$$) what more can a turban sporting impoverished MBA student ask for !

Team spirit – a cure for my bipolar disorder : If there is one thing that stands out for Kelley, its “Teamwork” which is an integral part of all activities here. When one is down and out the team doesn’t let it be so . In the same vein one is entrusted with responsibility towards the team. These are valuable relationship lessons that I don’t think I could get any place else.

Lastly the phenomenon called Prof. Wayne Winston : I am am a designer, with a serious aversion for Microsoft Excel . But the spreadsheet wizardry that he imparts, lets me boast my analytic skills without shame.

Go Hoosiers !
