From class projects and study groups to the Darden Innovation Challenge, the emphasis on teamwork at Haas appeals to Peter Tsang. After all, in the real-world work environment, that is how most work gets done.
"So many of my classmates are experts in their own fields. Everyone is knowledgeable, intelligent, well-mannered, and respectful of different opinions."
"When we work in teams, people are always looking to achieve the team goal and to share the spotlight."
"In class and on team projects, I like the way we are able to talk through all of our different ideas and make sense of our differences of opinion."
"I was on a four-person team in the Darden Innovation Challenge in my first year. We leveraged our own professional backgrounds and contributed to our innovative idea. Even though we didn’t advance to the final round, we were happy with our strong cohesion as a team and the opportunity to learn from working with one another."
"There are several other BGI students in the Haas program now and a number of alumni at the company. Sharing the Haas experience adds to our working relationships."
"Going through the discipline of studying for an MBA is useful by itself. Besides which, I am expanding my knowledge base in ways that will be useful in the future."
