Our ninth MBA Opening Residency has ended and 42 new students begin classes this week. They’ll start the semester with terrific memories of a very intense yet enjoyable period spanning ten days. The residency concluded with team presentations to executives from Owens & Minor, which served as the case study this year. Details on the final presentations can be found in coverage by RichmondBizSense.com here: http://bit.ly/to7kx.
The winning team of five students included a pair who are commuting from Charlottesville to attend The Richmond MBA. Louis Fierro is a manager of editorial operations at Lexis Nexis there and Barbara Wiggins is a clinical assistant professor in internal medicine at the UVa School of Medicine. Their teammates were Jason Repak of Rolls-Royce, Eric Boe of KBS, Inc. and Alex Solomon of Compass Energy. All are to be congratulated on an outstanding analysis and presentation.
Several faculty members provided insight that guided our students’ exploration. Kent Monroe (pricing), Doug Bosse (strategy), Marshall Geiger (accounting), Roger Schnorbus (strategy) and Steve Thompson (operations and technology) led discussions during the residency’s first weekend at the Jefferson Hotel.
We will begin work on next year’s residency in mid-September. Markel Corporation has already agreed to serve as the case study.
