End of Week 1 - Phew...
Week 1 of classes has ended. It has been hectic and enjoyable.
This evening I attended a Tuck Annual Giving dinner. Tuck has the highest alumni giving rate among all business schools with 65% of all living alumni donating money *every year*. In fact, there were some batches (going as far back as 1975) with giving rates of well above 60%. The passion among alumni is infectious. There was one alum who graduated in 1937 :) and one who had come all the way from central Asia.
Last night we had this awesome party - Red, Orange, Green party. No prizes for guessing what the colors indicate! The lounge where this was held was a collage of smaller events - with drinking games, beer pong, dancing and people trying to talk to each other over loud music!
During the past week, we have had classes in all core courses. The quality of professors is striking. All of them have decades of experience, excel in teaching while being at the forefront of research in their fields. While a lot of people spoke about the dual excellence (teaching and research) focus of Tuck faculty, I finally got to experience it.
