A day in the life
You arrive on campus in the morning to prep lectures, update your course slides with the latest industry case studies, and answer a queue of student emails about assignments and career advice. Your teaching blocks fill midday with lively discussions about marketing strategy, financial modeling, or organizational behavior, where you draw on real-world consulting experience to keep MBA students engaged. Between classes, you work on research papers, review journal submissions, attend faculty committee meetings, and hold office hours where students pitch startup ideas or ask for recommendation letters. The balance of teaching and research is intellectually stimulating, but the publish-or-perish pressure and the sheer volume of grading during finals can make the semester feel relentless.
