From one of our GOLDA cohort reps, Deb Duncan:

CALL FOR BLOG SUBMISSIONS

I just spoke with Dr. Grady, who's our Director of MBA/MSM Graduate Programs, and she has a request for all of you. She said she recently spoke with Jennifer Anzaldi, who runs the School of Business Blog. Ms. Anzaldi told her she's having trouble finding content for the blog.

Dr. Grady thought it would be great to publish some of our short papers (e.g., our weekly papers from OB, or maybe a shortened business case from IT). She wants 400 words max, so you might have to condense what is already a short paper, but if you have anything you're particularly proud of (that also got a good grade, of course), send them to her at: [email protected]. She'll review them and send them on to Jennifer. She mentioned that if they publish your piece, you can add that to your CV.
